What type of oil does an 2024 Dodge Hornet take?

• Exact viscosity and spec are listed in the owner’s manual; our technicians always use OEM-recommended fluids to preserve performance and warranty coverage.
• Using OEM oils and filters at a certified dealership reduces the risk of premature wear and provides long-term savings through extended engine life.

How much oil does an 2024 Dodge Hornet need?

• The 1.3L turbocharged engine commonly requires an oil fill within the typical small 4–5 quart range, but exact capacity should be confirmed in the owner’s manual or by a service advisor.
• Our technicians verify fill levels with the manufacturer procedure to avoid overfill or underfill, both of which can harm turbocharged engines.
• Service at Bill Estes Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM includes proper disposal and recycling of used oil and a digital service record that supports warranty requirements—remember, warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.
