⚑ QUICK DIY TIPS FOR THE 2016 DODGE CHARGER
Torque your drain plug to 34 Nm (25 ft-lbs) to avoid leaks or stripped threads. Using the OEM filter (Mopar 68191349AC) is recommended for warranty compliance. Always use 5W-20 Full Synthetic as specified by Dodge — using the wrong viscosity can void your powertrain warranty. Check the maintenance schedule below for your next service interval.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf.
