The might of the Hemi engine can be brought to its knees easily. It doesn’t matter how well built it is, how many power adders are present, or even how mindful you are of the redline. To kill a Hemi all you need to do is starve it of good clean oil. Poor quality oil or the lack thereof will surely cripple any engine, turning it into a live grenade that’s ready to blow. The oil keeps the parts cool and lubricated. Without it, parts would grind, bearings would spin and sooner rather than later somethings going to break.

Shop Challenger Oil Pans
If you're building up your Challenger's engine or looking into forced induction, it will be worthwhile to invest in an aftermarket oil pan. Large oil pans, of course, hold more oil, but more importantly, have baffles that help reduce oil aeration from the spinning crankshaft. No reason to add a healthy helping of horsepower without the oil to support it.
