Sorry if this has been asked before. I will be waking up my Hellcat for spring soon. I'd like to crank the engine over without actually starting the car to get the oil flowing first. If there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!
Thanks!
First start after a long winter sleep - what's good way to prime the oil system?

Yes and can also look it up in the Owner's Manual under the Flooded Engine Start Procedure.
Basically just hold the accelerator to the floor and press the start button and with A8 it will crank for 6-7 seconds I believe then stop.
With M6 you hold the button in and will crank as long as you want without starting.

I would just start it, your engine is not dry
For anyone wondering. The clear flood mode works in the Dodge Charger Hellcat even though it isn't stated in the manual!
45 seconds is way too long imho and the flooded engine procedure is simple and it works.
Yes it does build oil pressure at cranking speeds.
Just make sure you hold the accelerator to the floor and just press and release the start button (A8). With M6 hold the button down.
