The oil cooler on that engine is prone to cracks and leaking, and that is also where the oil pressure sensor is mounted IIRC. Replacing the sensor may be all that’s needed here, and since the labor required to access it is the same as getting to the oil cooler, replacing both at the same time wouldnt be a bad idea.2012 3.6 8 speed eco with mid mufflers, cold air intake ,throttle response 146700 on the miles and no leaks just coolant reaches up to 249f and yes oil shows up on dip stick
The Chargers started getting them beginning with 2012 MY IIRC.I didn’t know any of the 11-14s came with 8 speed trans
I didn’t know that I have a 12 SRT with the 5 spdThe Chargers started getting them beginning with 2012 MY IIRC.
It is the Challengers that to wait until 2015 MY.
Not sure on the 300s, I would have to look that one up...
The SXT (and possibly the GT?) was the only trim that came with the ZF A8 that first year. Anything with the 3.6L basically, I think…I didn’t know that I have a 12 SRT with the 5 spd
It didn’t make it paired with the v8s until 15 though right? They probably wanted to put it out there in the lower models to perfect any inconsistencies before throwing it in all of their models and especially the performance onesThe SXT (and possibly the GT?) was the only trim that came with the ZF A8 that first year. Anything with the 3.6L basically, I think…
Anyway, I cannot remember if there was a reason Dodge gave for that limitation the first model year, but I do remember being very surprised by it when I first read about it.
That may be the case for the v8 Chargers, makes sense I guess since the Challengers had to wait until 2015 alsoIt didn’t make it paired with the v8s until 15 though right?

You should provide some feedback to what you found as it may help someone else down the roadIt’s a ZF8HP45 and thanks for the help everybody I think I figured it out
And yet you could still get the 3.6s with the 5 speed too if you wanted. All of the fleet cars we had at work were 2013 Pentastars with the 5 speed.The SXT (and possibly the GT?) was the only trim that came with the ZF A8 that first year. Anything with the 3.6L basically, I think…
