Dodge Charger: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS / FUEL REQUIREMENTS
While operating on gasoline with the required octane number, hearing a light
knocking sound from the engine is not a cause for concern. However, if the engine
is heard making a heavy knocking sound, see a dealer immediately. Use of gasoline
with a lower than recommended octane number can cause engine failure and may void
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, and
hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before
considering service for the vehicle.

wrench using a six sided (hex) deep wall socket...
