What kind of oil does a 2010 Dodge Charger take?
My friend’s been having some trouble with his Charger. I think he may have put the wrong type of oil in recently. What kind of oil does a 2010 Dodge Charger take?

This is a great question! The kind of oil a car needs depends on the type of engine it has - the same can be said for your friend’s 2010
Dodge Charger
. With 2.7L and 5.7L engines, the recommended oil type for a 2010 Dodge Charger is 5W-20. For the 3.5L engine, your friend should be using 10W-30.
