Oils

Prior to the arrival of frost, it's crucial to replace the Dodge Charger's oil and oil filter. The oil serves to lubricate the engine's metal components, shielding them from damage. The oil's viscosity - or its thickness - plays a significant role in how the engine functions.

If the oil is too viscous, it will flow sluggishly over the parts, potentially causing the engine to overheat.

During winter, as temperatures drop, the oil thickens. However, this problem can be easily managed by using oil with a lower viscosity (low viscosity index oil) specifically formulated for winter conditions.

Coolant

With the onset of winter, it's necessary to switch your regular coolant for an antifreeze solution. Antifreeze doesn't only safeguard your Dodge Charger's engine in chilly weather, but it also hinders the corrosion of components.

Maintaining an adequate level of antifreeze is vital. A 50:50 ratio is optimal and prevents the fluid from freezing even under extremely cold temperatures (-40 degrees).

If the quantity of antifreeze is insufficient, the coolant may freeze, potentially leading to engine overheating and necessitating one or more gasket replacements.



Consumables

Spark plugs, wires, cables, belts, and hoses should all receive a thorough inspection before you venture out onto wintry roads. Don't hesitate to lift the hood and examine everything meticulously. If you notice a problem, it will allow you to find a solution promptly.
