The Dodge Challenger can use different types of fuel depending on the specific trim level and engine. Here is a breakdown of the fuel types recommended for different Dodge Challenger trims:
– The Dodge Challenger SXT or GT trims, whether RWD or AWD, can use regular 87-octane gasoline.
– The Dodge Challenger R/T trim with an automatic transmission can use mid-grade 89-octane gasoline.
– The Dodge Challenger R/T trim with a manual transmission, as well as the Challenger Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Super Stock trims, require premium 91-octane gasoline or higher.
It’s important to note that using the recommended fuel type is crucial for optimal performance and engine health. Additionally, using fuel with detergents, corrosion, and stability additives already mixed in is recommended to increase the lifespan of the fuel system and ensure efficient engine operation.
