almost clicked away when you tried checking the oil while running lol

Waste of 12 minutes of my life....... this guy is so uninformed.

It's amazing that some of the guys that have a blog don't know shit about cars! Damn

Bro get an OIL CATCH CAN and that will stop the oil burnoff that you saw when doing a cold start....

Hahahahahaha when you said “Third time filling up this week” that had me dying because i could relate !!! I have a Scat Pack Charger 2019 recently leased it. I love it man, couldnt be happier. I also love it when people ask “How many miles to the gallon you get” i always reply with “Smiles per Gallon NOT Miles per Gallon”. I dont take credit for coming up with that line, but truer words couldnt be said.

You really have no idea what you are talking about!!!

Found this on the challenger forum replied by an SRT Engineer. A decent explanation. I've had this once or twice on my 2016 Scat 392 not a daily driver. I've done 3 cold starts a month apart since I stored it for the winter with no issues. Here it is: New engines take some time for the piston rings (sometimes seals as well) to break in. As ring tensions have reduced and bore finishes have improved (read smoother) the rings will take longer to seal to the mating surface. In some rare cases, if an engine is run very hard right out of the chute you will get some glazing between the bores and rings which will cause an even longer (or potentially never) break in period. Normal conditions will break in and seal up well within several thousand miles. Make a few hard runs with the car after break in will ususally accelerate the sealing. Some light smoke from the exhaust on start ups (usually cold or warm after sitting for a time) is not an issue. If the smoke is heavy or continuous during driving there may be a mechanical problem, take into the dealer.

Most likely from not having an oil catch can. The oil build up in the intake manifold can do that. If you get an oil catch can and the problem still persists after a month or so, then you have a bigger problem. Bad valve guides/seals.

The smoke generated at startup was more than likely caused by you racing the engine at shut down. The oil pressure pushes the oil up into the heads and drains down onto the cylinders. When you turned it off, this leaves the valves open for oil to drain down onto the cylinders. Hope this explains your scare.

Looks like your a good candidate for a Prius

Its a sad day when two muscle cars pull next to eachother and talk about video games 😒🔫

My ride smokes onstartup. Wait it's a 7.3l diesel... if it doesnt smoke some things wrong.

For a 6.4, I would say do it all at once. Comp cam, long tubes, 3" exhaust, intake, followed by a DiabloSport tune.

“What do you have done to this thing?” “Ah just video games bro” WHAT A GREAT RESPONSE

After watching this & i am still sticking on getting my hellcat in March

Dude seriously, What was the point . You really have no idea .

I want to thank you for making this video. I now have a new topic for my channel. Weak soft men who buy fast cars.

Seriously get to the point man!

Never seen that ever on my 2018 charger scat pack. My break him process was easy till 1500 miles then I started driving it a little harder nothing past 4000 rpms. When I hit 3000 miles then I’d floored it several times. Piston rings sealed perfectly and no oil loss or smoke.

Also you can add a set of headers ,bigger throttle body ,Hellcat air box ,after market exhaust system and a tune and you will definitely feel the difference

Car on incline cranshaft in oil. Splashe's into cylinders over powers oil rings plus engine was cold

"I don't know how to answer that question..."😂 392 is a beautiful, versatile engine perfect for enthusiasts...not for people that think working on a car is a drag...

That's most coolest thing about the car community, good people brother, that smoke could be from the valves, or you might want to pull each spark plugs and out and exam them, could find out alot from your plugs brother, cool

The oil smoke comes from built up oil in the head. I used to own a brand new 2014 Challenger SRT8 6 sp. manual. I'm very keen on how the engine runs. At first my car was running hot, sluggish, and sucked gas until I got on the highway. So, I found out about the "Oil Catch Can" that's made for Mopars to "catch" the extra oil before it ends up in the head. It costs $66 and is very easy to install by hand. I had to dump it about every 5,000 miles or every oil change. I also installed a K&N cold air intake at the same time. Man, it made the biggest difference!! The engine ran sharp, cool, and clean after that, no matter how little I drove it. And no more oil smoke! 👍

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but did you conduct the break in process as directed by the manufacturer? If not then the proper seating of the rings might be the cause of the blow by. Not a mechanic, just saw a few videos about the breaking in of a new dodge challenger. Nice ride and hope you enjoy it for many years to come brother.

Good video bro.. And my 392 has never smoked like that on a start 🤔🤔

When you have smoke on start up that goes away after initial start up. That's going to be your valve guide seals going bad.

"coolant is good" glances at coolant expansion tank, "oil I have to check when the car is off, hmm" dude just get a Tesla or Prius you don't know much about cars.

It's cool you are into cars but if you dont know anything about engines dont pretend to.

YOU SIR.....know very little about cars.

Has anyone but anything else than 91 octane. Do they actually ping? I drive a supercharged sn95 and fee times run 87 with no issues. Just asking.

I drive my 2017 charger scat like I stole it daily. I’ve got 60,000 miles on it since I bought it new with zero complaints. Nothing but tires and brake pads. When you’re buying a car to “mod” looking at hp/$, don’t start with a car that makes around 500hp! Because making north of 500hp and making it reliable isn’t cheap. If it were, you’d see 500+hp cars at every stop light😏

About the smoke coming out of your exhaust. I had a similar issue with my Challenger RT. Turns out the valve seals were installed incorrectly at the factory in 2 of the cylinders. It took me taking it to the dealer several times for them to figure that out. Hope this helps you out dude.

Sorry. I am factory freak. As long as I got 485 horses I am good

Hello, is it normal for a 2016 srt dodge charger to smell a bit like gas on start up? Thanks

Every time I start up my scat I hear ticking until the car gets up to normal temps and I keep thinking my engines messed up

Do us all a favor and sell it so someone with balls can enjoy this beautiful engine.

That is the main reason why I got the 345. That and the block is tried-and-true in pickup trucks so it is strong, but it was mainly for a good base to build off of. Although the 392 block is what they're using to make the 426 stroker crate engine, I'm just saying. Although that crate engine is $20,000

My scat did that once, it has never done it again it's been 7000 miles since, till this day I don't know what it was...

That smoke at startup was just a little 'oil blowby' and is normal with large block hemis. The best cure is to get an oil catch can so instead of the oil going back through the intake via the breather, the catch can puts the oil back into the engine rather than the intake. You will notice that without a catch can you will loose a few 10's of a quart over time because it gets burned off through ignition. Just make sure to top her off every six months or so...

Nice car Hellcat is to much power i think 500 hp is enough power is like being in shape vs a bodybuilder no need. My opinion

I used to have an R/T 5.7 6 speed, around town I got about 19 mpg 24 on the highway. Now I have a Mazda, last checked my MPG was in the mid 30's and I now run the cheap gas.

Why does your 392 have SRT on the steering wheel?

Hi just wondering is it ok to put 89 octane on charger 392

My 2014 SRT-8 grenaded at 48k miles. Valve smacked the piston. Covered by warranty. Trade-in for Hellcat 👍🏻

The easiest and most reliable way to get more power is with a tune. But there isn’t to much calibration tunes for the 392 where as the mustang has a lot of options which makes it so much easier for a mustang to get more power

Is a Dodge Challenger ok for a guy who’s 5’6 for visibility wise? I drove a charger before as a rental but never driven a challenger. The charger was very roomy inside and I didn’t have any trouble with the blind spots

Do you have a catch can? EGR feeds engine gasses and oil particulate into the intake...

Oil from the PCV return line in the intake pools on the intake valves. Not really an issue, but a catch can will solve it. I put a catch can on my scat at 500 miles. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The number one thing you should have bought when you bought that car was a catch can

Would just forging the internals affect anything long term if i wanted to stay stock

What color grey is that ? And was that the stock grey that you got when you purchased ?

Yep, it happens to my T/A sometimes too, and it happened to my SRT8 Challenger. Tends to happen more if I park the car on an incline. Most notably it can mean the oil is slightly overfilled and the previous engine run time was very short. It is just blow by getting cleaned out of the intake

Spaghetti in the catalytic converters

What do you think of the gas prices now

I bet it’s that grandma air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror causing the issue 😂 love the Destroyer Grey 👊

New 392s including the RAM pickups also do that on cold start up. It is coming from the valve stem seals, it is normal.

I currently own a 14 charger 392. And honestly i bought it bc its a family/muscle car. Yes i knew it'll never be as fast as most pound for pound bc of the weight and its inability to be boosted safely (not saying it can't be, just 6.4 arent as good as the 6.2 boosted). Anyways i put down 498hp and 471tq to the wheels with minor bolt ons and cam upgrade. Its being built now with forged internals and E85 then 175 shot spray. The amount of money i spent i could have had a LS swapped 900hp plus car, but i love my car and im comited now in it. Bottom line, it all depends on your preferences and budget. My car puts down now 543hp 497tq NA with E85 and 683/671 on 175 shot. Mods are: Oil catch can JBA LT w/cat delete JLT CAI Apache max cam (No2 grind) Red eye lifters Demon injectors Forged pushrods Mahle pistons and rods ARP rod bolts/head studs 465 warblo fuel pump Ported TB & Intake manifold Nitrious outlet 175 wet ket Paramount 3200 stall Custom Hp dyno tune BC coilovers Do i regret the amount of money i spent on it knowing i could have something faster or better? No, i love my car bc i put my time and money in it. It's like raising a kid. #builtnotbought Check it out on IG slowbee_mopar

not a single person asked you what oil you are using. So...what oil is in it?

Does they car have the Traction Lok 230 MM axle?

Just some built up oil sitting on an intake valve or two. MOPAR messiah B Mason says this is completely normal and nothing to worry about.

You really feel every single horsepower when accelerating in the 392 because the 8 speed transmission is so great. I was surprised of how much power it has after trying it out and riding in it. Definitely a car with its own segment and a car in its own class. Its one of a kind!

Last time I had smoke like that coming from the exhaust it was a leak in the head gaskets. Check the seals and see if they just need replaced by chance. Also yours could be a slow leak which is why you didn’t see it in the fuel station. Possibly just leave the car sitting for an hour or so and just check how long it takes for the smoke to reappear on start up and see if the amount increases overtime. From the looks it’s probably just a small leak that built up over night.

Do you put premium fuel or airplane fuel? I said airplane fuel cause I use it to mix it when I put premium gas in my Nissan maxima from being a high compression engine

RE Oil Smoke at Cold Start . The Only think I can Think of is Faulty Valve Stem Oil Seal / Seals See what the Dealer Says. NO ! You don't need a Engine Overhaul .

The 392 has plenty of usable power. My daily driver is a 2017 SRT Challenger; just good all around fun. Yes, I wish it was like to old days of just adding parts and turning...well it is, but this is way more complicated. I might just do it anyway, but like you say for an additional $20k, I could have got a Helllcat. The truth is, I can't get the power to the ground now. It sounds great just stock. If anything, I would look at something to make it launch better. I could go with drag tires, but that takes away from the daily driver. It is a pretty good all-rounder, and that's why I got it in the first place. Sure, you could spend money invest in an upgrade, but you addressed the more basic question of should you. Making an assessment first is smart.

Ever thought about matte wrapping the roof and trunk lid? Looks good though. Hemi’s not only smoke but do a weird knocking noise eventually, runs all the same.

Gas is 2.04 in Houston tx 😂

Un burned fuel. That what the smoke was. SRT Technician

It's just not a oli bulid up Yu did mention it was a cold start will in a cold starting situation the computer tell the injectors to dump fuel in all cylinders at once that's why when it warm up it doesn't do it anymore ......

why the white smoke? are you using "cheap" gas?

5.7 is gr8 on power and if you want to modd theres lots you can do and still have a strong engine with no issues

Dude all you need to do is put a oil catch can on the motor, the first mod that should be done

Try an oil catch can for your intake that could be what the smoke was from just the extra amount of oil buildup in your intake burning off on a start up

Valve stem seals are wearing, but not enough to worry. After the engine warms they close up.

So your advice for upgrading a 392 is to buy a hellcat? No $hit

I do agree with you. The 392 is better left alone. Minor bolt ons but No superchargers.

I 1987 Iroc-Z 350 did that. Never had any issues with the engine.

Oil catch can would eliminate 90% of that smoke at start up.nothing to worry about.seen brand new ones do it.

I'm a Chrysler engineer. This is most certainly an early sign of Turbo Encabulator failure. This is very common on newer FCA products. There is a field service bulletin regarding this. Just call your Dodge dealer and ask to have it replaced or retuned if needed.

Ok first if you have any questions about what you can do with the 392 just give alexis a call at speedlogix in west palm beach and she will let you know what you can do to add more power.

Go down a long hill using engine braking no throttle. At bottom on throttle and cheeck in mirror for smoke. If cloud of smoke 1. Valve guide seals worn dripping oil down or seal displaced on guide. Remove rrocker covets and check. You can change them without rremoving head. 2. Rings or a piston with oil control loss.

For any car this problem is usually valve stem seals leaking, means the oil pools after stopping and then burns off when started again.

Oil catch can man that's it. Yes built up oil.

Catch can. Mine is full between oil changes. 392 with 5k miles.

sorry , i forgot to say-put a catch can-also known as an air/oil separator on that high performance hemi. i have one on my 6.1 srt8.

I used to have that big puff of smoke every time I started my 1973 Chevy Nova 350ci with 330,000 miles on it. Valve guides were worn out.

Dam I just wasted 12 minutes of my life. Plus the couple seconds to type this.....

Catch can needed. It’s from beating on your car 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

No oil catch can? It collects the oil before it gets to your intake.

I have a 2014 Jeep V-8 and the same thing used to happen on occasion when I first bought it. I got it brand new and now have 36K miles and it hasn't smoked in a very long time even with a cold start.

+1 on you should be driving a Prius.

Avoid. 12 minutes of nothing. For ad money.

Could be a bad valve seal that allows oil to get into your cylinder after it sits a while. Quite common back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

That's why I haven't bought one RT 2019 I really like it but I'm afraid of the heads on the motor if you have a lot of problems out of them head aluminum heads what am I supposed to do I have a friend that had one the heads cost a lot of money to get fit and do to me and maybe in in 3 months so what am I supposed to do if I get is Chrysler a Dodge going back it up no

WHATCH OUT FOR THE MDS LIFTER FAILURE

Dude. 12 minutes of blabber. Always amazed how you guys waste our time. Shutting you out. .

I just got a 2018 sxt challenger and I'm the same as you are if I feel something's going with it. I cant rest lol

What type oil are you using? Also replace one quart for Lucas hi performance synthetic oil stabilizer. Cold start smoking blue, definitely preworn piston oil rings, preworn valve seals would smoke blue(burned oil) like most of the time. Not even catch cans can catch that. All they do is keep Intake manifold ports clean, sensors and accurate fuel ratio. Even polluted oil can trick the engine computer and trigger a check engine light.
