2027 Dodge Charger Maintenance Schedule, Service Costs & Ownership Guide

The 2027 Dodge Charger SIXPACK engine holds 7.5 quarts of oil and requires premium fuel on the Scat Pack. The Daytona Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack Plus are fully electric, meaning their maintenance needs differ significantly from the SIXPACK models. This guide covers every key service interval, warranty term, and ownership tip, with inventory available at Champion CDJR.

2027 Charger trims and specs

Maintenance Schedule

The 2027 Charger lineup splits into two distinct powertrain families, each with its own service rhythm. The SIXPACK-powered R/T, R/T Plus, Scat Pack, and Scat Pack Plus run twin-turbo inline-six engines paired with an 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic. The Charger Daytona Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack Plus are 400V battery-electric vehicles. Plan your service intervals accordingly.

SIXPACK Models (R/T, R/T Plus, Scat Pack, and Scat Pack Plus)

Charger Daytona Scat Pack Plus (Electric)

The Daytona Scat Pack Plus carries a 100.5 kWh battery and produces 630 hp in base operation or up to 670 hp via PowerShot. Because there is no internal combustion engine, many traditional service items do not apply.

Items that do not apply to the Charger Daytona: engine oil changes, spark plugs, fuel-system service, and combustion-engine air-filter service. The Daytona does not use a conventional automatic transmission, although its front and rear electric-drive gearboxes use ULV gear oil.

Items that do apply:

Tires: Rotate every 10,000 miles or when the tread-depth difference reaches 2/32 inch (1.5 mm) or more, whichever comes first. Standard fitment is 305/35ZR20XL Goodyear Eagle Sport all-season tires on all four corners.
Brake System: The Daytona uses Brembo six-piston fixed front and floating rear calipers with intelligent brake-by-wire and regenerative braking. Inspect the brake linings according to the maintenance schedule and change brake fluid every 24 months.
Front Suspension and Steering: Inspect the front suspension, tie rod ends, and boot seals at the scheduled inspection intervals and replace components if necessary.
CV/Universal Joints: Inspect at each 10,000-mile maintenance interval.
Battery Thermal System: The 100.5 kWh pack uses liquid heating and cooling with a chiller. Flush and replace the applicable coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Electric Drive Modules: Drain and fill the Electric Drive Modules at 150,000 miles.
Cabin Air Filter: Replace according to the maintenance schedule and vehicle conditions.
Charging Hardware: Inspect the NACS charge port and J1772 adapter for corrosion or damage periodically. The onboard Level 2 charger supports up to 11 kW. On a 350-kW-capable DC fast charger, the Daytona can charge from 5 to 80 percent in approximately 32.5 minutes. The vehicle's peak DC charge rate is 183 kW.

Service Costs and What to Expect

Actual service prices vary and should be confirmed with the Champion CDJR service department at the time of your appointment. The following describes what each common service interval covers.

Oil Change (SIXPACK models) Covers draining and refilling 7.5 quarts of the specified engine oil, replacing the oil filter, and resetting the oil life monitor. The Scat Pack high-output engine, producing 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, operates under higher thermal stress than a standard motor, making on-schedule oil service more critical.

Multi-Point Inspection Champion CDJR technicians perform a multi-point vehicle inspection during each service visit. This covers fluid levels, tire condition and pressure (including the Tire Fill Alert system), brake wear, lighting, and any active Uconnect fault codes or stored diagnostic trouble codes.

Tire Service With multiple wheel and tire fitments across the lineup, from 18-inch standard R/T wheels to available 20-inch wheel packages on the Scat Pack, confirm the correct torque spec and rotation pattern with your service advisor before each rotation.

Brake Service Brembo brake hardware, standard on Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack models, requires Dodge-approved brake fluid and pads specified for the caliper design. Using off-specification parts on high-performance Brembo hardware can affect braking consistency at the elevated temperatures generated during hard driving.

EV System Check (Charger Daytona) A service visit can include diagnostics of the 100.5 kWh battery, thermal-management system, Electric Drive Modules, and onboard 11 kW Level 2 charger. This is separate from the Daytona's scheduled tire, brake-fluid, coolant, and Electric Drive Module maintenance.

Software Updates The Uconnect 5 system and the vehicle's powertrain and safety modules may receive over-the-air updates. Some updates require a dealer visit for module flashing. Keeping software current is part of maintaining full ADAS function, including the Active Driving Assist suite and Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking.

Maintaining Warranty Validity Using non-approved fluids, skipping required maintenance, or making modifications that cause damage can affect warranty coverage. The warranty booklet also states that repairs for damage or conditions caused by racing, as well as defects found as a result of participating in a racing event, are not covered.

Common Ownership Questions

What fuel does the 2027 Charger R/T require? The R/T accepts 87-octane regular as a minimum. Running 91-octane premium is recommended to achieve the engine's full 420 hp and 468 lb-ft rating. The Scat Pack requires 91-octane premium.

How long does the SIXPACK engine last? The 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK is a new-generation engine, and long-term durability data is still accumulating. Dodge's engineering uses DOHC construction with roller finger followers, four valves per cylinder, and dual VVT phasers, all of which are durability-oriented design choices. Consistent oil changes with the correct spec fluid and on-schedule spark plug replacement are the two most important factors in long-term engine health for any turbocharged direct-injection motor.

Can I use regular driving modes to extend tire life? Yes. The Charger's standard drive modes include Auto, Eco, Sport, and Wet/Snow. Staying out of RWD-only mode during routine commuting reduces rear tire scrub. AWD mode distributes torque across all four wheels, which is gentler on any single tire. Tires on a 550 hp or 670 hp car will wear faster than on an average sedan regardless, so budget for tire replacement as part of routine ownership cost.

How does the Daytona Scat Pack charging work day-to-day? Most Daytona owners charge at home overnight on a Level 2 (11 kW) connection. A 5-to-80-percent charge takes approximately 6.8 hours at Level 2. On a 350-kW-capable DC fast charger, the battery can charge from 5 to 80 percent in roughly 32.5 minutes, with a peak vehicle charge rate of 183 kW. The 2027 Daytona uses a native NACS port, giving it direct access to compatible Tesla Supercharger stations without an adapter.

Is the 2027 Charger reliable for daily driving? Both the SIXPACK and Daytona powertrains are designed to serve as genuine daily drivers alongside their performance credentials. The standard AWD system, Wet/Snow mode, and the full ADAS suite, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Departure Steering Assist, make the Charger genuinely usable on Interstate 10 commutes and Gulf Coast highway runs. The key to long-term reliability is following the owner's manual service schedule without skipping intervals.

Why Service Your 2027 Charger at Champion CDJR

Champion CDJR of Gulfport is a certified Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealer with factory-trained technicians who know the 2027 Charger's architecture. That matters because the SIXPACK twin-turbo engine, the TorqueFlite 8-speed transmission, the Brembo brake hardware, and the Charger Daytona's high-voltage electric drivetrain all require OEM-specified parts and procedures that a general shop may not have on hand.

Genuine Mopar parts are specified to the tolerances Dodge set during development. On a 550 hp Scat Pack or a 670 hp Daytona, using an off-spec oil filter, brake pad, or coolant is a genuine risk, not just a theoretical one.

Champion CDJR also has access to Stellantis diagnostic tools for Uconnect 5 and powertrain module updates. Independent shops typically cannot perform factory software flashes, which can become relevant for ADAS calibration after windshield replacement or following a Stellantis-issued software correction.

Owners across the Gulfport area can schedule service online, drop off a vehicle before open, and pick it up when ready. Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack buyers receive one day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School. Owners planning competitive or racing use should separately review the warranty terms, which exclude damage or conditions caused by racing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What oil capacity does the 2027 Dodge Charger SIXPACK engine have?

7.5 quarts. Both the standard-output R/T engine and the high-output Scat Pack engine share the same 7.5-quart oil capacity. Always use the oil specification listed in your owner's manual and reset the oil life monitor after each change.

Does the 2027 Dodge Charger Scat Pack require premium gas?

Yes. The Scat Pack's High-Output 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK requires 91-octane premium. This is not optional on the Scat Pack. The R/T accepts 87-octane regular but achieves its best output on 91-octane premium.

What is the warranty on the 2027 Dodge Charger?

All 2027 Charger models include a 3-year/36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty. SIXPACK gasoline models receive a 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Charger Daytona electric models receive an 8-year/100,000-mile Electric Powertrain Limited Warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Limited Warranty.

How long does it take to charge the Charger Daytona Scat Pack?

On a Level 2 (11 kW) connection, a 5-to-80-percent charge takes approximately 6.8 hours. On a 350-kW-capable DC fast charger, the same 5-to-80-percent charge takes about 32.5 minutes. Peak vehicle DC charging power is 183 kW. The 2027 Daytona uses a native NACS port.

Do I need to change the oil on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack?

No. The Daytona is fully electric and has no combustion engine, so there is no engine oil to change. Maintenance focuses on tires, brakes, battery thermal-system coolant, Electric Drive Module lubricant, and other scheduled EV inspections.

How often should I rotate tires on the 2027 Charger?

On Charger Daytona models, rotate the tires every 10,000 miles or when tread-depth difference reaches 2/32 inch (1.5 mm) or more, whichever comes first. For SIXPACK models, follow the tire-rotation interval in the owner's manual for your specific configuration.

Can I take my 2027 Charger Scat Pack to the track without voiding the warranty?

The warranty booklet states that repair costs for damage or conditions caused by racing, and defects found as a result of participating in a racing event, are not covered. If you plan to use Launch Control, Line Lock, or regularly participate in track or racing events, review the warranty terms beforehand. Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack buyers also receive one day of instruction at Radford Racing School.
