The 2022 Dodge Charger combines a sedan body with engine options ranging from 3.6 to 6.4 liters and six to eight cylinders, making correct oil filter service important for every configuration. At Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ, an oil filter replacement matches the filter to the engine fitted in your Charger, renews the drain plug gasket or washer when required, and includes a leak check after the engine runs. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule states that the oil filter should be replaced every 6,000 miles. Booking this service helps keep debris captured by the filter from circulating through the engine unfiltered and pairs the replacement with fresh oil.
What an oil filter replacement on a 2022 Dodge Charger involves
An oil filter replacement for a 2022 Dodge Charger begins with selecting a filter matched to the engine’s specification. Because this model is offered with engines from 3.6 to 6.4 liters and six to eight cylinders, the correct filter depends on the engine actually fitted to the vehicle. The old filter is removed as part of the oil service, and the sealing area is checked before installation. Where the engine uses one, a new drain plug gasket or washer is fitted to help support a proper seal.
After the new filter and oil are installed, the engine is run so the filter seal can be checked for leaks. This final check helps identify seepage before the vehicle leaves the service area. The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for oil filter replacement every 6,000 miles. When your 2022 Dodge Charger reaches that interval, schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria.
Why the filter matters on a 2022 Dodge Charger
The 2022 Dodge Charger uses engine options ranging from 3.6 to 6.4 liters and six to eight cylinders across its trims. As engine oil moves through those engines, it carries small particles and debris away from internal surfaces. The oil filter holds that debris so the oil can continue circulating through the engine more cleanly. The filter is therefore part of the oil service, not an optional item to stretch across multiple oil changes.
As the filter loads with captured material, its bypass valve opens. That allows oil to keep moving, but it also means the engine is receiving oil that is no longer being filtered. A loaded filter does not stop the engine getting oil; it stops the engine getting filtered oil, and that is worse in a quiet way. Replacing the filter with the oil restores the filtration step. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule specifies replacement every 6,000 miles for this model year.

What happens if the oil filter on a 2022 Dodge Charger is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate through the engine unfiltered.
The engine can still receive oil, but it no longer receives the same filtration once the bypass valve opens. Debris carried by the oil may therefore continue circulating. An oil-pressure warning, a noisier-than-usual engine, or oil that darkens quickly after a change should prompt service attention.

Can the oil be changed on a 2022 Dodge Charger without changing the filter?The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule calls for replacing the oil filter every 6,000 miles, so the filter should be included at that interval.
