What type of oil should I use in a 2013 Dodge Durango?

Use the OEM-recommended oil type for the 3.6L V6 as specified in the owner’s manual; many 3.6L Pentastar engines call for a manufacturer-approved viscosity and oil specification.

If you no longer have the owner’s manual, the dealership service department can confirm the correct viscosity and OEM-approved oil for your vehicle. Using the recommended oil helps maintain performance and warranty coverage where applicable.

How often should I change the oil in my 2013 Dodge Durango?

Follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change interval in your owner’s manual; adjust for severe-duty conditions such as frequent short trips, towing, or dusty climates.

Driving in Albuquerque’s dry, dusty environment or using the Durango for towing increases the need for more frequent checks. If you’re unsure of the interval, the service department can confirm the recommended schedule for your vehicle and driving habits.

  • Refer to the owner’s manual for factory interval guidance
  • Severe-duty use may require more frequent oil changes
  • Dealer can advise based on your Durango’s mileage and use
Will skipping oil changes void my 2013 Dodge Durango warranty?
