2027 Dodge Charger Maintenance Schedule, Service Costs & Ownership Guide
The 2027 Dodge Charger carries a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty. SIXPACK gas models require 91 octane premium fuel (Scat Pack) and hold 7.5 quarts of oil, while the Daytona Scat Pack Plus runs on a 100.5 kWh battery with an 11 kW onboard charger. This guide covers service intervals, routine costs, warranty terms, and ownership tips for every Charger trim available at ASA Auto Plaza.
Maintenance Schedule & What to Expect
A consistent service schedule protects the twin-turbo SIXPACK engine or the Daytona's electric drivetrain and keeps your powertrain warranty intact. The intervals below apply to normal driving conditions. Severe-duty use, including frequent track sessions, towing, or extreme cold typical of Minnesota winters, may shorten some intervals. Always defer to your owner's manual or a certified technician for the final word.
Routine service costs on the 2027 Charger depend on the powertrain and trim. The sections below explain when each major service is due and what to expect during the visit.
Engine Oil and Filter (SIXPACK models)
The 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK holds 7.5 quarts of oil. Follow the oil-life monitoring system displayed in the instrument cluster. As a general guideline, plan for oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles under normal conditions, but let the on-board monitor guide each interval. The Scat Pack's high-output engine requires 91 octane premium fuel at all times for proper performance and warranty compliance. The R/T's standard-output SIXPACK runs on 87 octane at minimum, though Dodge recommends 91 octane premium for maximum output.
An oil and filter change includes draining and replacing engine oil to the correct grade and capacity (7.5 quarts), replacing the filter, checking fluid levels, and inspecting belts and hoses. Turbocharged engines require high-quality synthetic oil rated for the SIXPACK's operating temperatures and boost pressures.
Tire Rotation
Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to promote even wear across the performance-spec Goodyear all-season or all-season performance tires fitted from the factory. Staggered-width tire setups (available on the SIXPACK Scat Pack and standard on the Daytona Scat Pack Plus with the Track Package) are not rotation-compatible; inspect those for wear at every oil service.
Tire rotation is often bundled with an oil change. This service rotates all four tires to the correct positions when the tire configuration allows and provides an opportunity to inspect tire condition and wear.
Brake Inspection
The SIXPACK Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack Plus both use Brembo six-piston fixed front calipers. Inspect brake pads and rotors every 15,000 miles or once per year. The Daytona uses regenerative braking as a primary deceleration system, which significantly extends brake pad life compared to conventional vehicles.
Brake inspections include checking brake pad thickness, rotor surface condition, and brake fluid level. The Brembo brake hardware on Scat Pack models requires inspection for caliper function and rotor scoring.
Air Filter
Inspect the engine air filter every 15,000 miles and replace as needed, typically every 30,000 miles under normal conditions. Dusty rural driving, common in southern Minnesota, can accelerate filter contamination.
Spark Plugs
The twin-turbo inline-six uses four valves per cylinder with dual VVT phasers. Consult your owner's manual for spark plug replacement intervals, as these vary by fuel grade and driving intensity on turbocharged engines.
Battery Health (Daytona Scat Pack Plus)
The Charger Daytona Scat Pack Plus uses a 100.5 kWh lithium-ion battery with liquid heating and cooling plus an active chiller system. Have battery health checked annually at a certified service center. Avoid consistently charging to 100% for daily use; Dodge's recommended charging range for daily driving is between 20% and 80% to manage long-term cell health.
Battery diagnostic checks assess cell voltage balance, thermal management system function, and charging acceptance rate. These checks help identify any degradation early and are covered under warranty during the warranty period.
Charging System (Daytona Scat Pack Plus)
The Daytona Scat Pack Plus ships with a NACS charging port and a J1772 adapter. The 11 kW onboard charger supports Level 2 AC charging, taking approximately 6.8 hours from 5% to 80%. A 350 kW DC fast charger reaches 5% to 80% in approximately 32.5 minutes. U.S. NACS charger station locator
Coolant, Transmission Fluid, and Differential Service
The 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission and the mechanical limited slip rear differential both require periodic fluid checks. Consult the owner's manual for mileage intervals, as Dodge specifies these based on oil analysis results and driving conditions rather than fixed mileage alone.
Multi-Point Inspection
Every service visit at ASA Auto Plaza includes a multi-point vehicle inspection covering lights, wipers, battery condition, suspension components, fluid levels, and tire condition. On the Daytona Scat Pack Plus, this inspection also includes high-voltage system visual checks and charging port condition.
Alignment
Wheel alignment should be checked annually or any time you notice uneven tire wear or steering pull. The Charger's multi-link front and integral-link rear suspension geometry is tuned for performance, and alignment drift on performance-spec tire sizes affects both handling and tire longevity.

Common Ownership Questions
How reliable is the 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK engine?
The Hurricane inline-six platform was developed for long-service-life commercial and performance applications before its Charger debut. The standard-output version produces 420 hp at 5,200 rpm with a relatively modest 10.4:1 compression ratio, which tends to reduce thermal stress compared to higher-compression naturally aspirated engines. The high-output Scat Pack version runs a lower 9.5:1 compression ratio despite its higher 550 hp output, a tuning choice that supports durability at sustained high boost levels. Using the required 91 octane premium fuel on the Scat Pack is not optional for reliability; running lower-octane fuel triggers knock retard that robs power and adds heat stress over time.
How long do Charger Daytona Scat Pack Plus batteries last?
Battery longevity depends heavily on charging habits and thermal management. The Daytona Scat Pack Plus's liquid-cooled and heated battery pack with active chiller is engineered for demanding use. Keeping the daily state of charge between 20% and 80%, avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme heat while fully charged, and using DC fast charging sparingly (not as the primary daily charging method) are the practices that most extend battery life.
Can I track my 2027 Charger?
Yes. The SIXPACK Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack Plus both include race-oriented features such as Launch Control, Line Lock (SIXPACK), Drag Mode and Drift/Donut Mode (Daytona), and Performance Pages through the Uconnect 5 system. For track use, the optional Track Package on the Daytona Scat Pack Plus adds 16-inch two-piece Brembo rotors, red fixed rear calipers, staggered 20-inch wheels, and dual-valve adaptive damping shocks. Track driving accelerates brake, tire, and fluid wear, so post-track inspections are strongly recommended.
What fuel does the 2027 Charger R/T require?
The standard-output SIXPACK in the R/T accepts 87 octane regular as a minimum, but Dodge recommends 91 octane premium for maximum performance. The Scat Pack's high-output SIXPACK requires 91 octane premium as a hard requirement, not a recommendation.
How should I charge the Daytona Scat Pack Plus in Minnesota winters?
Cold temperatures reduce available battery capacity temporarily and slow charging speeds. The Daytona Scat Pack Plus's liquid thermal management system pre-conditions the battery when plugged in. Using the remote cabin conditioning feature while still connected to a charger warms the cabin and battery simultaneously without drawing down the main pack. Plan for reduced range in temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, which is common through the Jackson area and across southern Minnesota from November through February.
Does AWD affect maintenance needs?
The Charger's standard AWD system with selectable RWD mode includes transfer case and front differential components that require periodic fluid inspection. The selectable RWD mode allows rear-biased driving without removing the AWD system from the equation entirely, so all drivetrain components remain active. Service intervals for AWD components are outlined in the owner's manual by mileage and time.
