Were you able to get the exact oil at the auto parts store and what was the name and weight?

 

[LITSOUT]

Added 1 qt of 0-40 Mobil 1. Readily available....

I believe the factory uses a Pennzoil product, even has SRT on the bottle. Mobil is good also Royal Purple. My car has been sitting only 70 miles so far but I will check the oil soon thanks for the tip!

600 miles and oil level perfect

FYI the Pennzoil can be hard to find. Mobil 1 is always readily available and use to be the mainstay of all SRTs. Royal Purple is overrated, I think RS will even agree.

Of the few initial problems reported with Hellcats, oil consumption is the one that troubles me. I sure hope this problem goes away after break-in. I have experienced an auto manufacture claiming 1 quart every 1K miles is “normal.”

An observation, I checked my oil within a few minutes of shutting the engine off when I initially got the car. It was a quart low. Checked it again a couple hours later, it was 1/2 quart low. Checked the next morning, right on the money. Make me wonder what the drain paths back to the pan are through this monster.

People need to be cautious taking this into account.

My 14 SRT Jeep is the same.

I started my car today, first time in over two weeks,, and it ticked for a few seconds, mind you it's been in a heated garage, and hasn't gone below 48 degrees,,I hope it's normal

You can get a case 6 quarts on Amazon for $50. At least that's what it was. Pennzoil 0-40w platinum

Yeah, the oil has quite a path to go and I think it just settles and needs a few to get everything lubed up again. My baby is still running like a greased pig with 50 kids chasing him! I feel like the more it breaks in the better it works.

Bought mine at Amazon as well. What's the deal with this oil? Not at any of the auto parts in my area.

There is a post on here from either Challengerdad or HellCatdotClub that received technical data from the manufacturer of Royal Purple. Current recommendation is to not run Royal Purple until after 2000 miles has crossed.

I was taught that the most accurate time to check is when the engine is cold.
