Dodge 6.4L 392 HEMI® V8 Vehicles in Western PA

For Western Pennsylvania drivers wanting more than standard V8 power, the 6.4L 392 HEMI® V8 defines the performance lineup. It sits between the 5.7L R/T and the supercharged Hellcat, offering massive naturally aspirated power manageable on Cranberry Township streets yet dominant on the track.

Dodge retired the Charger and Challenger sedans after the 2023 "Last Call" production run. It remains the ultimate family hauler for Butler County hills. Whether you look for a pre-owned Scat Pack or a new high-performance SUV, the "392" badge commands respect.

Expert Insight:

Fuel Saver Technology (MDS)

The 6.4L HEMI uses Multi-Displacement System (MDS) technology to improve efficiency during your New Castle commute.

Under light loads, the engine deactivates four cylinders.

The engine switches between V8 power and 4-cylinder efficiency. This feature activates only on models with the 8-speed automatic transmission; manual transmission Challengers remain in V8 mode 100% of the time.

Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips

The 6.4L 392 HEMI requires specific care. Follow these rules from the Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service Center:

Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips
  • Strict Oil Requirement: You must use 0W-40 Full Synthetic Oil. Do not use the 5W-20 found in the 5.7L. Tight tolerances and high heat require this specific viscosity to protect lifters and bearings.
  • Premium Fuel Only: This high-compression engine requires 91 octane or higher to prevent knocking and ensure full power output.
  • Warm Up: Allow oil temperature to rise before hard acceleration. Cold oil flows slower, and the valve train needs proper lubrication to avoid wear.
