Regular synthetic oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, inspect front suspension components and brakes regularly due to vehicle weight, check for any HEMI tick or lifter wear issues typical of higher-mileage 5.7L engines.

Fun Facts

1. The Challenger's platform is famously derived from the older Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210) dating back to DaimlerChrysler's era of cooperation. 2. Unlike its main rivals (Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro), the Challenger retained a true, large body style with usable rear seats and a massive trunk. 3. The HEMI V8 nameplate traces its heritage back to Chrysler's legendary engines of the 1950s and 1960s.
