Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
Depending on equipment the car has a compact spare, a full-size spare, a limited-use spare or a tire service kit instead of a spare.
Lug nut torque
130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2015 Dodge Charger and Charger SRT Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2015 Dodge Charger maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

Schedule

A dot means the service is due at that mileage.

  • Rotate the tires, rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before scheduled maintenance

What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2015 Dodge Charger: 8 recall campaigns and 136 owner complaints. Fetched November 8, 2026.

NHTSA hasn't published 5-Star Safety Ratings for the 2015 Dodge Charger.

Recalls (8)

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Air bags: frontal: passenger side: inflator moduleJanuary 15, 2019 · Campaign 19V018000Do not drive

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2015 Charger data for Great Lakes roads

None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2015 Dodge Charger lines that matter for a Lansing winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.

Tire choices for squall and thaw

Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P215/65R17 on 17-inch wheels to 275/40R20 on 20-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

Factory oil: SAE 5W-20 (3.6L and 5.7L) and SAE 0W-40 (6.2L supercharged and 6.4L), 6 qt (3.6L), 7 qt (5.7L), 6 qt (6.2L supercharged) and 7 qt (6.4L) per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 730 cold-cranking amps. A Charger left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Which wheels do the pulling

Factory drive configurations for 2015: rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used Charger confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.

Antifreeze for both ends of the year

The system holds 10 qt (3.6L), 14.5 qt (5.7L without Severe Duty II cooling), 15 qt (5.7L with Severe Duty II cooling) and 15.2 qt (6.2L supercharged) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.

Clearance for frozen ruts and hollow roads

Listed ground clearance: 4.57 to 5.4 inches. Two places in this region test it. One is a snowbelt side street after a squall, where frozen ruts form before the plow comes back. The other is a gravel road up an Appalachian hollow, where a high crown and washouts can catch a low underbody. Knowing the figure helps you choose a line instead of guessing.

Short winter trips count as hard use

Under hard use this Charger can call for an oil change from 3,500 miles. Short trips in deep cold, crawling snowbelt traffic and long idles on a frozen morning all fall under that heading in the Great Lakes states. The schedule never lets an interval run past 10,000 miles.

Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2015 Charger. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.

2015 Dodge Charger questions

How much oil does the 2015 Dodge Charger take?

With a filter change: 3.6L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 6 qt / 5.6 L and 5.7L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 7 qt / 6.6 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2015 Dodge Charger use?

3.6L and 5.7L engines: SAE 5W-20, API certified (MS-6395) and All engines: Mopar engine oil filter.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2015 Dodge Charger?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, boot seals, and replace if necessary; inspect the rear axle fluid. inspect the front axle fluid (all wheel drive only); inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary; adjust park brake on vehicles equipped with four wheel disc brakes; replace cabin/air conditioning filter. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2015 Dodge Charger owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2015 Dodge Charger get?

The EPA rates the 2015 Dodge Charger at 16–23 MPG combined, depending on the version. 3.6L 6-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 19 city / 30 highway / 23 combined; 5.7L 8-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 16 city / 25 highway / 19 combined; 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 13 city / 22 highway / 16 combined; 6.4L 8-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 15 city / 25 highway / 18 combined; 3.6L 6-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, AWD: 18 city / 27 highway / 21 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

What size tires does the 2015 Dodge Charger use?

Factory tire sizes: P215/65R17 (SE (RWD)); 235/55R18 (SXT, SE); P235/55R19 (SE AWD and SXT AWD); P245/45R20 (R/T (RWD), SXT); 245/45R20 (R/T Scat Pack, R/T Road & Track); and 1 more. The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), not in a single table.

Does the 2015 Dodge Charger have recalls?

NHTSA lists 8 safety recall campaigns for the 2015 Dodge Charger. The most recent: Air bags: frontal (January 2019), Power train: automatic transmission (July 2018), and Electrical system: wiring (May 2018). NHTSA's data was last fetched November 8, 2026. Recalls are listed by model year, so a given vehicle may or may not be covered: enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see which are open.

What are the most common safety complaints about the 2015 Dodge Charger?

Owners have filed 136 complaints about the 2015 Dodge Charger with NHTSA. The components named most often are power train (32), engine (24), and electrical system (22). 10 complaints involved a crash and 1 complaint a fire. Complaints are reports from owners that NHTSA does not verify, so treat them as a signal to look into, not a finding.

Specifications come from the manufacturer's spec comparison and its media-site specification sheets; maintenance schedules, fluids and publications come from Mopar's owner site and owner's manuals. Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle.
