Oul changed 2k miles ago, looks like 4 quarts of oil on the ground, engine bay took a bath.
Mine has a trans cooler line pop off shortly after delivery. Right around 1200 miles. Big mess also. Lots of oil and trans lines have been popping off the fittings due to improper install at the factory. Mind boggling how such a basic thing gets overlooked. Hopefully that’s all it is.
Stating the obvious, but, plugs on the cooler and pan tight? No double gasket on the filter? (Another reason I do it all myself.)
Did you go underneath for a look? Have you been checking your oil every couple days after a change? This is not something you want to wait and ask us about.

There's an oil cooler up front too....probably a loose or broken line....possibly a busted cooler?
If you got it shut down before much if any low oil pressure operation, fit it and you're probably still ok...here's hoping!

2018 , funny thing is it wasn't on a recall list for the oil cooler lines, but yet it was built September 2017, so I'm thinking it should have been part of the recall. I will find out later tomorrow what happened. If it is the oil cooler lines, im sure my power train warranty will cover it.What year is your Hellcat?

Normally covers the engine block and internal parts only but good luck!

That is why I asked you what year. It sure sounds like that could be the problem.

Its all fixed and covered by power train warranty, oil cooler hose.That is why I asked you what year. It sure sounds like that could be the problem.

Hmm I wonder who predicted that…
That was my question to the svc dept. They told me no recalls of that nature on mine, but here is my thoughts, yes it is a 2018 that was built Sept 2017. Could it have had the recall part in it ,but not included in the recall? The hose should not have failed if it was the revised one ,right?Would that have been part of a recall?

Anyone who may know,
On the 2017; hose failed or the connection failed? Was it a bad batch of hose specific to a manfacturing lot or some other change? Ideas to which hose or combination to replace if the cars out of warranty?
Nice website on HC engine for reference with diagram. Probably can be found posted elsewhere on HCO.

I’m gonna go with slows guess but yeah for the ones popping out after delivery is definitely due to no “c” clip being put in one of the lines at the cooler
Yes everything is good, I just hoped they would have tried to clean the oil up from under it. I still gave them 10s and all yeses because they are always good to me there, plus my next HC oil change is free
