The 2015 Dodge Durango generally requires 5W-20 engine oil, suitable for both available engines, and it can be a synthetic or synthetic-blend formulation that meets API SN or ILSAC GF-5 specifications. Using the correct viscosity helps with fuel economy and engine protection in a range of temperatures.
In 2015, the Durango offered two main engine options—the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and the 5.7L Hemi V8—and both share the same recommended viscosity, though their oil capacities differ. The following breakdown covers each engine’s oil requirements, so you can choose the right product and know how much to pour when you change the oil.
Engine options and oil specifications
The Durango’s 2015 lineup includes two engines. Below are the oil requirements for each engine, so you can select the appropriate oil for your vehicle.
3.6L Pentastar V6
Oil specifications for the 3.6L engine are listed below.
- Viscosity: 5W-20
- Oil type: Synthetic or synthetic-blend
- Standards: API SN or newer, ILSAC GF-5 or newer
- Capacity: Approximately 5 quarts (with filter)
- Filter: Mopar or equivalent
Note: Always verify the exact capacity and specifications in your owner's manual or on the oil fill label, as configurations can vary by market and model year.
5.7L Hemi V8
Oil specifications for the 5.7L engine are listed below.
- Viscosity: 5W-20
- Oil type: Synthetic or synthetic-blend

- Filter: Mopar or equivalent
Note: As with the 3.6L, confirm the exact capacity and spec in the owner’s manual, since variations can occur by model and market.
Summary
For the 2015 Durango, use 5W-20 engine oil in either synthetic or synthetic-blend form that meets API SN/ILSAC GF-5. The 3.6L and 5.7L engines both require this viscosity, with roughly 5 quarts of oil for the 3.6L and about 7 quarts for the 5.7L (plus a filter). Always follow the owner’s manual and use an appropriate filter to ensure optimal engine protection.
