... how much oil drained out from the pan and filter?
I changed my oil today for the first time (1300 miles). I do not have the Wave Program deal, and this is a job that is rather simple to do (minus the oil cooler drain) and so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Given some members who have had Hellcat Chargers and Challengers report that there is less than 1/2qt in the oil cooler, I decided to just do the pan and filter. FWIW, the pan on the TH is different (from what I've seen via videos) than the pan on the HC Chally and Charger. The pan on the TH appears to be identical to the 6.4 SRT engine (I had a '15 SRT)...which BTW, holds 7qts max capacity. Same with the filter and its location.
I checked the oil level per the dipstick _before_ pulling the drain plug. It showed middle of the cross-hatch area. I don't know if this means I have burned 1/2 qt or so in my first 1300 miles or not. I haven't checked the oil level prior. But I wanted to see where it was before I drained the pan and pulled the filter.
I discovered that after draining the pan and removing the filter (and allowing the thing to sit level for ~10 mins to get everything out), it had only drained out ~6.5qts.
I cannot imagine the oil cooler in this thing holding nearly 2qts of oil.
Curious as to others' experience who have changed their own oil.
