Challenger Hellcat Oil Change and No Dust Brakes

 

Afert 1000 miles of driving bliss, I figured I'd go ahead and perform the first oil change on Go Man Go to get that break-in oil change completed. Hellcat engines are broken in on the engine dyno prior to installation in to the car, but I still wanted to do one oil early oil change at 1000 miles. At the same time, I decided to swap the front brake pads for something less.....dusty. The factory brakes perform great, but MAN do they dust. I could drive 100 miles and the front wheels would be absolutely covered in black dust. No bueno!

 

These items are very basic, require very little mechanical knowledge, and are things you can do with simple hand toos, and a jack and jack stands of course.

 

For this modification you'll need:

 

Jack

Jack Stands

OIl and Filter

Oil filter wrench

Pan for Oil

Funnel

Creeper (optional)

Brake Pads

Punch

Socket set with 7mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, and 21mm sockets

Impact - optional but makes things easier

Blue Locktite

Rubber Mallet

Torque Wrench
