I did Amsoil on my ‘19 Scatpack. I don’t go to the track and only leisure daily the thing. I’m pleased. It’s kinda a gimmick to say you have to right at 6k again to each their own i could totally understand doing changes at 3k even every 1000 miles if track used
Someone probably done the damage with a jack.....you MUST be careful where you place the jack and jack stands...see ZL1 Addons for must have jack pads....also last time i took off srt filter the rubber ring stayed attached.....also be careful when torquing the drain plug....almost over torqued mine....it was marked from factory but I went beyond mark....thanks for the vid!
I used that same oil in my charger for a minute before switching to Castrol Edge Fully Synthetic! My car is faster and waaaay quieter than any other oil! Couple that with a Frame Ultra Synthetic filter, I'm good for a long time!
Great video. Own 2018 heaven-cat, wide body, rear seat delete, manual 6spd. Owned car 15 months. Bought w/ 800 miles, now have 5.2k miles. Thanks for sharing.
The correct procedure for restart after an oil change on an srt vehicle - depress accelerator to the floor to disable the injectors - attempt to start until good oil pressure is achieved - 25psi+ Release accelerator and restart. Vehicle with start fully primed as it should.
Good video! Sorry about the damage. I too bought my 2016 Hellcat used with 1059 miles on it. In matter of fact, it looks almost identical to yours except mine is a manual transmission. I did my own personal inspection on it as well as the Hellcat/Viper mechanic at my local Dodge dealership in West Palm Beach. The mechanic was so cool and former racer, but spent almost 1 hour talking to me and inspected everything he could on it for me. He ended up spending about 3-4 hours on it and I did have him change the oil out also. Everything checked out good, but on yours, mostly cosmetic damage out of sight and rest of the car looks great and should not affect your ride quality or performance.
Here's a little low-tech tip for gauging the cleanliness of your engine oil as a function of the mileage and how to use that as an indicator as to when to change it. Every thousand miles, after a fresh oil change, drop one drop of your oil while it's at operating temperature onto a sheet of paper towel. Label the drop with the mileage and keep the towel in your garage for use at every thousand mile mark. For the first few thousand miles you won't see much of a change in the color of the oil, but at some point at around 5,000 miles you'll see it start to darken significantly. This is the point where I like to change the oil.
This is great and all on a normal car but these cars run on full synthetic so even if you run it for a 1000 miles it gets dark within this parameter. Also these cars are meant to be changed every 3k not 5k even though it says 5k on the bottle and it is a full synthetic. These cars put off a lot of heat and are typically driven hard, a daily, or both. Depends were you live and the time of year as well like I live in Fl and I have to change mine every 3k otherwise it’s straight black. Another thing to think about here when waiting 5 k for an oil change in a hellcat is the fact it pumps pcv oil vapors into your supercharger now I don’t know about you but I’ve looked inside and it ain’t pretty in there if you wait vs doing it when it’s fairly clean at least this way nasty black gunk does accumulate on the rotor pack and intake robbing power. Just some knowledge I’ve picked up over the years of owning this platform. Also pcv valves go bad easy in these and many will tell you it blows both ways and it does but what they don’t tell you is it is reduced flow one way. Catch can designs end up breaking pcv seals from hose failure from heat over time causing a vacuum leak as the flow becomes insufficient. All for the sake of emissions.
So from my understanding in the 15 and 16 hellcats take 7.5 quarts of oil not 6 or 6.5 the reason behind this is the oil filter holds oil and so does the oil cooler so when draining these 3 points and you only put 6.5 it will show full on the dip stick this is why it’s smart to put 7 and get a new dip stick like dodge did in the 17 and up hellcats. Nothing else was changed in the newer ones as far as oil goes pans and everything are the same. So another words checking your oil after 6.5 is pointless as it will always say full so it’s not accurate and nor can you check precisely without the new stick but the car does need to see all 7.5 quarts for the best performance so it might be something to look into.
We have a Jeep Cherokee where you have to step on the gas pedal 3 times to reset the oil life gage,. What a PITA. For this reason and the engine auto/off feature, I don't like FIAT cars which stands for Fix it again, Tony.
Some build dates these cars had issues with the supercharger bearings. Dodge knew it but if you put a cold air intake on it dodge blamed you and wouldn’t cover it under warranty.
Btw, my first Hellcat was a 2015 bought used (and overpriced at 69k), back during the "Crazy for Cocoa Puffs" price gouging times. To make matters worse, it was a stick car. Anyway, I saw it, did the paperwork & had it delivered. So you're not alone. Can't blame you for not going over everything, cause I'd have been so excited, I'd have done the same.🤔
@@Zander13Productions I remember a dealer trying to tell me the previous owner babied the car and tried to use the highest speed recording, 89 MPH, as proof... Like brah... You can reset the highest speed recorded...
So what happens if you put Mobil 1 on the hellcat I didn't look it up autozone told me I could use it but I been looking around. And see I messed up car not giving me issues but am gonna redo it asap
Ugh! 😟 Sorry to see that stuff on bottom. 😐 I totally get how you feel. It is an expensive car and special, if for no other reason than "it's yours & you worked to get it". I'm Sooo careful when changing wheels, etc. Making sure I'm on the correct lift points and a cushioned jack pad. The rear not so bad. Has them big rubber bump stop things. Makes it easier & no brainier.🤔 However, your car is fine. But I "get it". Try not to worry.😉
+Zander13 Automotive ya Mon. And try not to go over 2500 miles on OCIs. Conditions are always considered optimal. Meaning you start your car and drive 5000 miles at 75 miles per hour then turn your car off... Obviously this is nowhere near what happens in reality. But I'm just a scientist what do I know.
Jesus, I found my counterpart of RUclips, WTH, Lol my name is Zander and I’m looking at buying a hellcat. I just gotta sub for the name, the hellcat content is just a plus, how many people have asked you if your name is short for Alexander or if your name is spelled with an X?
mopar oil - pre paid plan from mopar is $246 for 4 oil changes . Which includes labor , pennzoil and mopar filter . you do the math if it makes sense to do your own oil change at this point . You welcome
HC 6.4L only holds 6 & a half qts of oil? That's it 🤔 wow!! The 18 mustang GT being 5.0 L holds 10 qts of oil. EVEN MY 16 mustang GT holds 8 qts of oil. Also my 2nd car 18 camaro SS holds 10 qts. Does not seem like a lot of oil capacity for such a big engine 🤔 Hell even the dealerships sometimes have no clue on how to properly lift and change your oil. And they are trained technicians. Go figure 😬
First comment. Lol good video man. I have a 16 hellcat challenger. 3rd owner. It just hit 60k. She's had a rough life but I'm taking care of her now. Going to get an oil catch can. Anything you'd look out for with that many miles?
Zander13 Automotive for sure brotha. Also I live in San Diego and the manager in the service dept told me to have all my work done there and documented and since it's a specialty car, handmade, and built to last, if anything happens to it i.e out of tolerance blower, oil cooler breaking etc.. that he would have it taken care of and told me not to worry about the 60k warranty. Sound like bull to You? Cause it did to me haha

yes, its 98% good. I love the car and glad that the few things that are wrong with it are not noticeable.

lessons learned lol. Next time I will pay more attention. we live in learn.
So did you have to replace the oil cooler gasket is there even one there or is it just an oil ring
Older gentleman my ass, that's just what dealerships tell you to sale the vehicle Haha.
You could be very right lol
Maybe the Hellcat was only driven to the Bingo Hall one day a week?

Let my wife drive this morning and the whole splash shield ripped to pieces from that crack. I am trying to find the right part number now.
That sucks. Us Gt500 owners supercharger oil is good for 100k before changing.
Your GT500 is also good for being light in the ass and mowing down crowds at car shows but who cares?
lol you don’t have to service the supercharger oil on a hellcat it’s a sealed unit
Excellent vid. Thank you 👍
You are very welcome!
great upload.. And FINALLY someone who primes the filter. I would go with an M1 301A filter next time...
it's more betterer...
I will have to do that. Thanks for the heads up 😀
