- 2015 Challenger Scat Pack, How to Jack up the car, where to put the jack stands, oil change and Oil Life reset. - Lots of details below
This video is specific to the Scat Pack 6.4L or 392 Cu In engine, I would allow for an hour to complete the job 2 if you have not done this before.
Checking your Oil
A good reference is from the bottom of the safe zone scoring to the top is 1 quart of oil. The best time to check your oil is when you car has reached operating temperature then had been off for 5 minutes and is on level ground. I check mine every time I get gas, since I don't usually wait 5 minutes I account for a little missing oil that has not drained out of the engine. Regardless the oil should never be above or below the safe zone scoring on your short throw dipstick

The Jack pad I picked up slides nicely along the pinch weld and sticks in place to keep the jack from destroying my rocker trim.
For the first oil change the factory Sasquatch installs the filter, it’s near impossible for a mortal man to remove without the help of a large adjustable 3/8 drive socket type filter wrench that can handle the behemoth 3.8” filter. I recommend socket type because there is not much room along the sides of the filter.
The oil I have been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic Motor Oil 0w-40 as it’s the only oil that I found the meets (MS-12633) and can be delivered via Amazon subscribe and save. Same with the Royal Purple filter, It’s a good brand, purple and eligible for Amazon Subscribe and save.
If you have a blacktop driveway its best to put a metal or plywood base under your jack stands to the pressure is distributed evenly Jackstands tend to sink in sometimes.
Disclaimer: Use properly rated jack stand NEVER get under you car without them. If you don't know your way around the engine bay or how to properly use a jack or tools, please have someone who does assist you. While you did not see me using a torque wrench I want to note it’s always best to follow manufacturers service manual to make sure everything is reinstalled to proper tightness. With this video I hope to encourage someone like me who does not want other people working on their car to do it themselves.

Hey there...
Just wanted to let you know that AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil now meets the Chrysler MS-12633 Spec. So now there is another option other than Mopar or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.
nice, Always good to have another option for everyone. I'm going to pin your comment
Work Play Drive I noticed the 2016 scat packs have a oil cooler....do your know if we have to drain that like the hellcat?
But is it api certified?
I read somewhere that Valvoline full synth also meets that specc now.
Provide some Proof to back up your comment please
Respect for having your children involved, sadly we dont see enough of that these days.
and its never to early to teach them the mopar or no car rule.
Edit: little tip, if you took a heat gun and cautiously heated up the bottom of the funnel it will allow you to reform it to get that bend in there to make it easier to fill up.
I did this for mine, first one I went overboard and melted the funnel, but using gentle heat and small bends at a time you can get that perfect bend in the funnel to make filling easier without causing any interuption to the flow of the funnel
Thank man, I agree we need to get the kids doing this stuf, generations are getting further and further away from fending for themselves.
Dude, awesome tip sometimes the simple things you just don't thing of! Thank you!
This is a well done how to video I would add a few tips that I have learned over time. The first time you remove the oil drain plug before you loosen it use a magic marker and put a mark on the drain plug and one next to that mark on the oil pan so when you reinstall it snug it down and turn until the marks line up and it is just as tight as when you started. second tip is prefill the filter with new oil before you install it this will soak the filter paper in side the filter and your engine oil pressure will get up to normal faster as the oil pump will not have to fill the oil filter before it starts pumping the oil through the engine. and the last thing I do that is totally OCD on my part and total over kill is after the oil is drained and before I put the drain plug back I pour a half quart of new oil in the engine and let it flush the last dregs of old oil out when I see fairly clean oil dribbling out the pan I put the plug back and tighten till the marks line up.
All excellent tips! Thank you for sharing. (pinned)
Raymond Smith great tip. Thanks
Bad tip. Don’t fill the filter.
...and again please educate us on why?
Work Play Drive because any oil that goes into the filter in unfiltered oil. The engine will build full oil pressure with or without the filter being profiled in about the same amount of time. Like milliseconds. There is a reason all the engine manufacturers don’t say anything about profiling the filter. Even Cummins, some of their oil filters hold several quarts and if you read the literature, says NOTHING about pre filling the filter. But someone that puts oil in a oil pan without the drain plug in it knows more than Cummins engineers right?
You didn’t even “know” to fill the filter until you read this comment, but now it’s automatically the correct thing to do? Makes sense.... 🤦♂️
Awesome. This was super instructive on the jack points / jack stand resting points. Also, I feel dumb for never thinking of pulling the car onto a piece of wood to get the extra ground clearance for the jack if you don't have a super low profile one.
Been changing my own oil for about 15 years and I still learned a few cool ideas from this. Great video production as always.
Thanks man! Learning new stuff never gets old. The wood was dumb luck on my part as well
Finally someone else who doesn’t want anyone else touching my car 👍👍👍👍
Yeah man year 3.5 and never been back to the dealership.
I watched this prior to changing the oil on my own Challenger. Although I have been around cars and working on them my whole life, I learned quit a few new tips from you. I use to get under the car with just the hydraulic jack supporting the car until a few months ago the seal on a brand new jack gave way while I was NOT under the car.....pretty scary to say the least. Loved how you were sharing this with your young children! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and man that is a “holy crap” moment.
Helpful, thanks. Doing 1st oil change on the weekend. And I agree with you, I can't stand having someone else touch my stuff.
Thank you! Check out my update video on this, I go over some of the stuff I picked up since this video ruclips.net/video/w9m-0QjSLLg/видео.html
An instructional car video that's well lit, well filmed, and well narrated? You've got a knack for this.
I've been looking into getting a Challenger R/T Scat Pack, so I've been looking at maintenance videos, and was getting tired of seeing dark blurry videos from terrible angles with little explanation, so this was actually really impressive.
Thank you for the kind words! My reason for starting the channel was to provide accurate info and clear instructions :)
Great video! Thank you. Changing my Scatpack’s oil tomorrow. It’ll be my first time ever changing a cars oil. I have all of the tools you stated. Just have to get the torque wrench and socket kit. You did well explaining with detail. I appreciate it.
Glad to help ;)
Work Play Drive, Great video. Just picked up a gently used 16 SP a few weeks ago from an out of town dealership. About ready for an oil change but I'm going to change it myself because like you would rather have my own hands on it. Glad to see all the tips for jacking up a low profile vehicle including the jack pad. This pad will come in handy on my 13 Chrysler 300S Hemi AWD as well. Great to see you with your daughter to. Mine's 19 and I've taught her how to change her oil in her Ranger and how not to be intimidated by it. Even if she doesn't get all the details we get to spend the the valuable time. Dads like that make a huge difference in the world. Thanks!
Congrats on the Scat Pack, almost 2 years and I still smile when I start her up... Those Jack pads are a bit costly, but I like how they keep my trim from getting mangled. My kids are my biggest fans and I'm going to soak that in for as long as I can.
dealership changed my oil and I had half more on dip stick so.... plastic pipe and syringe ,next oil change doing myself. Great Vid!
Ouch, glad to help 💪
"I will buy you a new minecraft shirt if your shirt gets dirty" 😂😂 love it
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the great info. Just picked up a 2015 Scatpack. Earned yourself a new subscriber. 👍🏻
Awesome glad it helped
Good work getting your daughter involved. I try to do the same thing with my daughters. My oldest loves to get her hands dirty and help. It's a great way to spend time with each other.
absolutely, whenever they show interest, I stop and let them help, every little bit helps.
Thank you for this video. I'm going for a R/T in 2 more years and this helped out. I hope it'll be the same way by then.
I hope so too but, I've been reading they will be switching to a high output 6 in the years to come.
Ty so much you’ve explained everything in detail by detail is very very helpful. I will continue to watch your videos. Thanks much again. God bless and I will be safe.🙏🏽
Thank you 🙏
Hello. Just changed the oil on my Hellcat yesterday by using this video and another one for the I/C so thank you for that. The only troublemsome part for me was to put the first skidplate back on, or.. skidcover w/e. BUT... only because i tried to put the clips back in as one piece, when I did the clips one part at the time... it was suddenly much easier xD Getting Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is next to impossible here in Sweden as well so thank god for Amazon and american sites that ship abroad.
Thanks for another outstanding video! Very informative! I'm getting ready to do my first oil change but I didnt know about that cool little tool that attaches to the pinch weld/frame (gonna need to pick one up)
Thank you! When I wanted to do my first Oil Change I couldn't find anything that was clear. hope this helps and yeah the jack pad was a good find, a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it and it looks cool too.
Work Play Drive , It's like you read my mind when you made this video. I couldn't find anything for a scatpack challenger, plenty for the scatpack charger, but none for our cars. Regarding the jack pad, I agree that the price is a little steep but it's a one time purchase that I'll use for the life of the car. And I'll say it again, thanks for the helpful video.
Just did my oil change this video helped out a lot thanks man! 👍🏽
Thank you, Glad to help :)
great video as always lots of great tips. pre-fill your filter to get oil pressure quicker. looks like you love your Scat !!
THank you, I do love this car and I agree that would have been a good tip to include, hey there is always the text overlay :)
Great video! love how detailed oriented you are! just subscribed to your channel.
Rush SRT 🙏 thank you
I listing to the part with your father...sitting on the bumper of an impala from 66.
Very similar to me, working as an 9 year old boy with my Dad in 1980, putting a Typ 4 Porsche-Engine in his 1979 Beetle-Convertible.
Erverywhere the same :-)
Glad I got to experience this with him to start my love for cars.
Thanks a lot for this video.
This is my second time that my car needs a oil change. The 1st time I went tho the dealer the second time I am planning on doing it myself thanks to your video.
Awesome. I find it actually takes less time for me to buy all the supplies and change my own oil and it does to sit in the dealership and wait for them to do it 🙃
Thank you for this! Looking to do my first oil change on my 18 Charger 392 soon.
Nice glad to help.
Thank you internet dad!
Great informative video - thanks!
This is my new owners manual, awesome man, and thanks for the link to this video😀🖒
anytime brother!
Excellent Video! Just subbed! Thanks!
Awesome How To video. Just recently got 2016 SXT Charger and I like to watch How To videos just so I know what I am getting into. The first mod I am wanting to do is the air intake and I couldn't help but notice the beautiful one you have installed. I looked through all your videos and could only find the one where you removed your headlight. I was wondering where you bought your intake, it's an absolute beauty.
Thank you! The intake in this video replaced the hellcat air box. The intake is part of my Shaker hood it's the Cervini's Ram Airbox. The airbox grill is definitely a beautiful piece. Cervinis does make stand alone Ram Air kits Unfortunately they currently don't make anything for the 2015+
Watched like 4 of your videos today. Subscribed!
Oderus Urungus awesome welcome to the Fam!
Thanks dude. Picked up my 392 SRT Challenger last night and holy crap am I excited!!
Congrats remember no full throttle no matter how tempting they tend to get squirrely on the stock tires :)
Yeah, I read the manual and plan on sticking to the 6.4L break in process which means no full throttle until I'm over 800KM or something like that. The SRT comes with 275's and the Scat Pack comes with 245's so tire spin shouldn't be as bad. Also can't do hard breaking and no highway. Still fun and sounds crazy good.
Oderus Urungus you still get to enjoy the exhaust sounds 😉
Hey man thanks for vid. I remember when u bought it lolo. Stay safe bro
Awesome you're passing the knowledge to you little girl! I'm doing the same.
Trying to make sure my kids have that hands on experience my dad shared with me. It wasn’t fun all the time but it definitely helped develop the skills I have today.
I agree with Raymond - prefill the filter or you'll have up to 7 seconds of no oil pressure. well done video.
Thanks, I've never filled the filter on any of my cars, but I do agree it's something that should be done and can only help.
awsome video "MOPAR OR NO CAR", i just subscribe to your you tube channel ,cant wait to c more videos , i got a 2016 dodge challenger 392 scatpack shaker R/T and im gonna be up for the 1st oil change very soon and i agree i dont trust just any body with my car either.Thumbs up !
Your shaker is a beauty, I wanted a shaker so bad I converted my Scat Pack in the Spring this year.
Nice! didn't know about the triangle for the jack stand
Jack stand or jack if you have one of those low profile monsters.
I do but always used the magnetic guards like you have.
Another great video - THANKS!
Thank you!
Great Video, Thanks
Does the temperature of the oil have an impact on the oil level? Should oil be checked when the car is cold? Also, how do you feel about ramps instead of a jack and can you recommend any? Thank you!
great job and good video 👍
Thank you
Love the blacked out shaker
Thank you, I'm working on the video for the install of that whole kit it should be out in a few weeks.
Thanks a lot for the great video!
Anytime I can help :) Thanks for watching !!
So how would the dealer lift it, with the lift pads on the diamond mark you pointed it out?
And if you were to use a floor jack with out a jack stand would you put the floor jack on the diamond?
Great Video!👍
Awesome video! Thank you. I was wondering what you call the little red metal protectors that your jack pushes on? I need to pick a cpl up for my 392 shaker that I have recently purchased.
Thank you, after 4 years countless lifts that little mag pad helped keep my pinch welds perfect.
I did not know about jack tool (was previously curious what that spot under car is far), but car is wedged too tight to use jack on it, so i fabricated wood pre-step with the plastic rhino ramps so the lower black valance does not get broke/damaged. just changed oil today on 2012 6.4L SRT8 header orange viper 6-spd. with 3150 miles. third oil change. kept under cover rarely driven. got 1970 6-pk 440 and 1972 rallye 340 challengers had since 1981, use to have 4 speed 340 duster/twister, but had to sell years back, too bad those go for lots money now. i'm an old fart as you probably guess by now having those rides. i say new generation are cute and lovely and quite but the old school ones have "balls" of pure raw mechanical power and less agile, not prone to breakage like new temper mental ones. I don't use gloves, getting oil and gas on hands never hurt no one. i enjoy your video. it is OK but not necessary to open the fill cap before filing, i think the drain is same either way but do what you like.
Thank you. Super helpful
Thank you 🙏
Thank you!🙏
Great job!
Thank you
Shaping the minds of America's youth !!!
I love my Challenger! But this is only a shaker correct?
Awesome video!!
Thank you!
Good video man
Thank you!
earned a sub.+like! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
@@WorkPlayDrive you're welcome Sir 🙂
Is there a crush washer on that drain bolt that needs to be changed with each oil change? Were your jack pads for the 2 inch or 3-inch opening at the pinch weld? I used your link on Amazon but those particular pads are coming up as "unavailable." Then I measured my '16 Scat Pack and it is only 2 inches at the weld. Very helpful video, thanks.
The cut out in the rocker trim only has a small opening my Jack pad is a littl larger, but it slips behind the rocker trim. It's currently out of stock on Amazon and zl1addons.com but they do have a smaller version on their website available. I bought a second one 2 weeks ago, so they mush have just run out.
JM 74 also no crush washer. Our cars has a rubber gasket one on it.
How do you like your Cirvini Shaker? Just bought a new Scat Pack Wide body and thinking about that shaker. Do you think you really got an additional 15 HP to make an even 500? (haha like that matters) Didn't know about the frame stamped triangles either. Gonna dump the oil after the first 1000 miles so this helped. Thanks
Glad to help. I truly love my cervinis shaker. The size, shape and quality are perfect. I daily the car year round (except in snow and ice) and both the hood painted by cervinis and the shaker finish are still flawless over 2 years later. I have 2 videos on the purchase and part of the install if you want more info.
Good info on a oil change. For the filter removal tool do you have an alternative you'd suggest as the linked model is no longer available? Also, I see you only use 2 jack stands. Is it better to jack up on 4 stands to get more old oil out?
Getting the car up on 4 stands is a bit sketchy. The 2 in the front are sufficient and provide enough room to fit. I’ll look into the tool and see what I can find.
I found a good alternative for the filter wrench by JDMON Universal since they don't offer the Craftsman anymore. Also do you think 3 ton stands will be strong enough to hold up, that's only 1.5 ton per side on a 4k + lbs car [shrug]?
amzn.to/2NnbcFo
amzn.to/2GYjOkG
The entire car is only 2 tons so those stand would be more than enough.
Why would the oil read low on this engine when the car is cold (no start), but read normal after driving for say 15 minutes? I checked it and it was low, drove to the auto parts store and it was good when I checked it again. 4k miles into the oil... Just a question if someone else has had this issue.
What is the part number on the rp oil filter?
thanks for the video. Its been great. Question for you. Ive noticed most 0w 40 oil thats not the pennzoil ultra platinum says euro on it. Do you know if this is still safe for a 2018 challenger scat?
I believe there are certain specifications that need to be met due to European oil change intervals and top speeds. I'm assuming these specs lead to a "Euro stamp on the container. For the 392 FCA wants you to use an oil that meets (MS-12633) check the container for that specification. I believe only Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and one other brand carries that spec. You can use non (MS-12633) but the manual recommends you only use oils with this spec.
Awesome video. I noticed you didn't have one, but do you recommend a oil catch can?
Yes I recommend getting one, just be careful it makes you want more engine bling once you step back and look at how nice it looks. In this video I don't have one, but I did wind up getting one from Billet Technology. you will see how it works at 5 minutes 20 seconds in this video ruclips.net/video/w9m-0QjSLLg/видео.html In my hellcat I have 2 catch cans, in my hellcat, instagram.com/p/By_CmPyF5w7/
Nice Jack Stands Bro ;-)
+xboxexpert some knucklehead loaned them to me.
Great video! what are your thoughts on oil catch cans for Hemi's?
Here is my video on it 😏 ruclips.net/video/jo-VFEIeYIg/видео.html
Can you show us how to jack the rear? and get it on stands? been having a hell of a time figuring that out'
Check out this video I go over the rear at 6 minutes 40 seconds ruclips.net/video/BFxOH2agjVY/видео.html
Get a fumoto oil valve. Threw one on my 13 Daytona. Quick and easy for oil changes.
+SPaoline4302 I've been checking that out thanks for the reminder maybe I can grab one before I change the oil.
Thanks for the great video.
I'm considering getting a Scat Pack, anything you could think of that would make you not recommend the car/have you had any issues? Thanks!
nope, I'm still loving the car. If you get the Scat Pack you may want to consider the 6 piston brakes available as an option on the 2017
Work Play Drive I shall do that, thank you
I have the service manual on CD. Torque spec is 20 pounds for the drain plug.
Pound foot. I bought the CD from techautority. $150. It's not copy protected.
It's 35 pounds. Just enough.
Hey man, thank you very much for your advice. I'm about to do my first oil change on my charger rt, my question is is there a particular jack and stand i should buy? Your links lead me to some fairly cheap ones, but someone recommended i buy the much more expensive ones that hold more weight. I want to get stands instead of ramps just so I have the ability to remove my wheels whenever I want. Thanks again man.
You will want stands rated for at least 2 tons. The entire car weighs 2.5 tons but you never lift the whole car at once. Personally I like the ones with the hole and peg design. I always question the ratcheting ones.
Work Play Drive ok and these torin big reds are the hole and peg ones your talking about? I just want to take all precautions since its my first time lol
No for some reason I can’t find those on line. Don’t misunderstand I’m not saying they are unsafe just one of my preferences.
@@WorkPlayDrive that's 5,000 lbs. No Challenger is that heavy.
Got to drop in a oil catch can ! Works like they say it does .
Catch can is on the list, jut trying to figure out what Brand and if I want to do it in color. I want to use a dark orange anodize for all my engine parts, just having an issue with the anodize quality of a few parts I"m testing.
i used Billet technology web page, but takes 2 months at least to get your order.
+olds98123 I'm working with billet on some parts now ordered them in December 😣
Dude great video, what was the link for the tool that clipped in for jacking?
The ZL1 Premium Magpad amzn.to/2NjwJCc I have 2 and after 4 years and many times per month lifting the car for mods and detailing my pinch welds looked like NEW. a little costly but totally worth it.
Wondering I have seen people put jack stands we’re you lifted with jack and jack the car up we’re you put the jack stands just want to know if your way is by the book our it doesn’t matter
Sorry if you said it I skipped through video, What year is your car? Some of the shakers need to come off to remove the oil cap?
My Scat pack is a 2015 and the shaker is NOT a Mopar shaker it's a Cervini's Shaker kit. I do not need to remove the shaker to change the oil.
Im confused are you suppose to put oil in the oil filter because i see other videos people put
Oil but i didnt see him put oil in the filter in this video
You can put oil in the filter, to speed up the delivery, it cuts out the time it takes for the engine to fill the filter.
I rarely put oil in the filter and in some cars like my Jeep the filter is inverted so it’s not even possible.
Couldn't of done any better myself! 👌🏻
Thanks man!
"All I learned was how to hold a flashlight and get yelled at" lol
I definitely grew up in that area!! 😂😂 for some reason my flashlight skills sucked because I was always getting yelled at
i just bought a 392 hemi scat pack shaker as well. I hope you know that you can remove the shaker intake with a screw driver that is given to you in the glove box when you buy the car. its four bolts and really easy to remove and replace.
Congrats of getting such an awesome car! My shaker is a little different, than the stock. When I wanted to purchase my Challenger 392 Shaker, I was unable to get the exact Shaker I wanted and could no longer order it for that model year. So I went with the Scat Pack with all the options and converted it to a Shaker using the Cervini's shaker it.
Work Play Drive oh ok, well the car looks dope! And the videos have been a huge help 👍🏼
Thanks brother!
Well done. I would love to know how many belly pans are thrown away without putting them back on. I have to go to the dealer because living in an apartment all of my tools are gone.It's not about the money it's because I'm picky and do not trust anybody working on my SRT.
+Robert Lyon same issue when I moved from my parents to an apartment in stopped working on cars. The dealer or my trusted mechanic did all the work. Now that I have this car and a place to work on it I'm going to try and do as much as I can myself.
How much oil did you put in new filter before installing? I've worked on USAF Jet's, as well as, Boeing CH-47 Helicopter's and both always used Mobil 1. I will be doing my own oil for now on in my 2018 T/A "392" with Mobil 1...
I fill the filter almost to the top, it takes a few seconds for the oil to soak in and sometimes I need to top it off a few times. I leave about a half inch from the top to prevent it from spilling when I screw it in.
@@WorkPlayDrive What was the tool # or name you used to put under jack on car to lift her?
Awesome video I noticed your front brakes look like a 2 piston over a 4 that they use now on the slim body. Do you still have that car? Super easy yeah I'm using the Mopar filters with the penzoil srt. Yeah just slug not over tighten yes must of us have a feel for it 👊🤟. Thanks for the help brother
That was one of the original early release 2015 scat packs they had 4 pistons only for the first few years until they released the “dynamics package” upgrades.
I don’t have her anymore and I miss that car almost every day.
@WorkPlayDrive ohh ok got it thanks. Yeah I know I love scatpacks really all the power you need. But the hellcats I'm sure it's fun racing her on the drag strip if u do? Do you feel a huge power difference from scat to the cat? I wish I cab have both you know. I'm actually doing my first oil change myself my 22 only has 1k miles on it so I figure why not Christene her in my Garage 😄
Whats up man!? So I'm picking up a set of hellcat reps sunday with a nice set of 555 g2's on sunday. I'm pretty petrified about jacking this car up (charger scat). ZL1 is sold out of those pinch weld protectors. Any tips for doing this in a "pinch"? I'm thinking if I notch out a cut down 2x4 piece of wood with a spot for the pinch weld it would essentially be the same premise no?
the 2x4 will not support it safely. Best bet is to wait till you can get some pinch weld protection. Check a few Auto shops you may be able to find something so you can lift the car safely.
Does the charger have those rubber pucks in the back in front of the rear wheel? If so you can lift from there.
Work Play Drive it has the rubber pucks in the rear only. Which gave me the idea to buy the hockey puck I literally just walked out of dicks with. I think notching one those should be good no?
Sorry I missed this. Not sure about the puck. I’d wait till you have all the right tools. It would suck if something failed
Work Play Drive all good. I ended up jacking up the car on the rear jack point only. It was able to go high enough to remove front wheels as well. 🤟🏼
Great video. Any tips for putting these cars on 4 jack stands?
The easy way requires 2 of the Jack pads I reference in the comments. The rear has the same cut out in the rocker panel, behind that cutout you will see a rubber puck (hockey puck size) . the spacing between the 2 is awkward so what I do is use a jack on the rubber pad, lift the car, then use the jack pad and jack stand on the pinch weld at the cutout. I should probably do a video.
Work Play Drive that would be great. I'd love to see a video of you putting the car on 4 stands not just jacking the rear. I've always been iffy about jacking the car onto 4 stands 1 corner at a time. New SRT 392 owner here.
I use an awl and a hammer and I poke a hole in the filter. You then unscrew the filter when it's empty.
So I just got my '17 Scat Pack in December. it's got about 900 miles on it, and I have yet to do the first oil change. I am planning on putting it in storage here in the next week or so, but I have one question. I want to do an oil change in April before I take it out of storage, is that a good idea? Or should I do one now? (I have heard things about doing an initial oil change to get out the factory oil. Thanks! Also, thanks for the great video!
It's up to you on the when... according to the manual April would be acceptable depending on your MFG date. However a lot of people take out the factory oil as they feel any build debris could course issues in the future. If you're worried about it do the oil change before storage and again afterwards.
On all my new cars the last 15 years I've never done an early factory oil change, I have always followed the manual or on the newer cars the maintenance reminders. On my Scat Pack I change the oil every 6 months or when told by the dash (whichever come first)
Work Play Drive At what percentage of oil life do you decide to change the oil? I know you said every 6 months, but what does that equate to as an oil life percentage in your dash? When my dash says 15% oil life, is that a good time? Or do you change it when it's still in the 20%s.
Usually above 25%, in the winter I Driver her less and in the summer I try to start considering changing the oil at 30% just in case we have an unannounced Track night I'm running clean. Track nights excluded, if you're just daily driving, it's up to you, following the manual and recommendations from the car is totally acceptable
Hello,
What torque wrench are you using? So many options and sizes I want to make sure I purchase the right one. Thanks!
Here is a link to the Torque Wrench I am using. (10-150'.-Lb./13.6-203.5 Nm) - amzn.to/2mCp4Cn
Work Play Drive What sockets are you using for a complete oil change on a 392 challenger? I want to change my own oil but I want to make sure I have all the tools I need for a smooth job. Thank you!
Work Play Drive I’m sorry for all the question but did you replace the oil plug gasket? If so which one did you use?
Hi, where did you find the pinch weld protectors for the floor jack? thanks.
You can grab them from Amazon, they are awesome. Jack Pad - amzn.to/2pILhf6
Thanks for the video, correct me if I'm wrong, this is not the 3 ton Pittsburg jack you're using in the vid, this seems like the 1.5 ton small HF one, right? If so that's nice it can lift your heavy car that high! Gob bless the kids btw
Yes this video was using my old old old jack that failed on me. Thankfully I always use jack stands 🙏
Great video.. thanks ..love my 2016 scat pack.
Thanks, Tell me did you sit down, start the car and instantly need to have it? That first start got me...
absolutely... funny story when I went and looked at my car it was underneath an overhang in front of the dealership where they also had patio furniture for people to sit at as they waited for service there was an elderly lady sitting about 5 to 6 feet away from the car the saleswoman actually started it first and when she did the elderly lady jumped a little bit and said( oh my what is that thing) to which I responded my next car!
Ha Ha! It;s one of those moments where a commercial is born... What was your first brake pedal experience like. Did you put anyone through the windshield? I had driven over 3 hours to pick up the car in my 05 Tucson winter car which takes like 500 yards to stop from 30mph . I almost put the sales guy through the window when I hit the brakes leaving the lot.
Work Play Drive hard to believe it's 4200 pound car stops like its 1500 pounds.. I fall deeper in love with it every time I drive it..
So true, she's like my second wife. I look forward to seeing them both every day and get cranky when I'm away from them.
is there a playlist or a series of maintenance you have or can do for your audience brother? i wish i learned these life skills growing up but my pops just didn't do his own maintenance lol so here i am
Sorry no playlist on maintenance pretty much all my videos are DIY though
@@WorkPlayDrive is there a tutorial on brake maintenance, or just regular maintenance you may have on your channel
I covered 2 brake videos.

when do you check during or after or before fueling up with gas?
I check once I'm done getting the pump started. Overall the best time to check is when the engine has been to operating temperature then shut down for 5 minutes. This gives the oil time to drain back into the pan.
When I am checking it's only been off for about 1 minute. I account for the oil level to be a little low, but ALWAYS within the hashed safe zone.
Do you think it’s possible to use ramps on 19 Charger scat?
Yes, there are 2 good options
The 2 piece Race Ramps RR-56-2 amzn.to/2Nw6ipZ allow for the perfect slope to avoid hitting the chin spoiler and provide an 8" lift. 8" is a good height for changing the oil and the 2 piece design makes it easy for storage.
If you want more room go for the Race Ramps RR-XT-2 which give you a 10" lift amzn.to/2N2W9Sz
What is the manufacturer name of the jack guard you are using?
That was an old one my favorite Jack is the Orange Daytona Low Profile from Harbor Freight. fits under the car without having to drive up on blocks and it's a fast lift. If you don't have a Harbor Freight near you you can also order the Yellow one from Amazon bit.ly/WPDToolStore
What is that grill cover over your intake filter?
My scat pack had the Cervinis Shaker kit installed, the grill is part of the kit which comes with a full airbox replacement as well.
@@WorkPlayDrive ah cool. I just got a 2021 challenger scat pack but it came with the shaker package from the factory
will the Jack stand placement work for the 3.6l?
OSCAR13TINY yes just look for the triangle cut outs.
Can you explain how to and when to check the oil again?
I check mine every other time I stop for gas, the dipstick will read a little low because the oil has not had a chance to descend, but as long as I'm in the safe zone I know I'm fine. The best time to check is on a level surface 15 minutes after driving so the oil has time to settle.
Are you sure where you put those jack stands is the actual frame? Ive always been told that modern unibody cars have no exposed frame at all, and your only real places of support are the pinchwelds and subframe.
Yes the area with the triangles is the correct area for both jacking, Lift and jack stands.
Cool. Where did you get the jack plate from?
Jack Pad - amzn.com/B00O72Y2CE a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it and it looks cool as well
Work Play Drive
Ok. Thanks man!
Will it hurt anything to lift the whole side of the car with one jack point?
I’ve lifted it high enough from the front and rear back point to get both wheels off the ground, but it feels a little sketchy.
There is no center jack point mentioned in the service manual so while the pinch weld should hold, it’s not what I would recommend.
@@WorkPlayDrive I was wondering if you lifted from the front jack point enough to get both jack stands under the car, if that would damage anything. I hear the Camaro has such a ridged frame that it is possible with it.
Hey man you gotta change the oil filter every time right?
yep, oil filter should always be changed with the oil.
Work Play Drive thank you sir
Is there a link to the oil filter
Sorry to keep you waiting on an answer here you go, this is for the scat pack and the hellcat amzn.to/2ICPUmf
This is the same with challenger R/T too right not jsut the scat pack
I believe there are a few differences between the Scat 6.4 and the R/T 5.7 including the oil type requirements. You can use this video for the basics, but definitely reference your manual for Oil and filter type.
Only difference is the oil type. Both engines still require about 7 quarts of oil and the changing the oil filter on both cars requires the same steps.
did you paint your calipers?
Yes Sir Check out this video, ruclips.net/video/EBn_2OddU8E/видео.html (love the name)
