Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing issues where engine oil and water mix following a loud booming sound, which may indicate potential internal leaks or damage to the engine gasket. This problem can be linked to engine knocking caused by oiling issues, faulty spark plugs, or the presence of water or coolant in the oil. A notable sign of this mixing is a change in the color of the radiator fluid to a copper hue. Additionally, a low oil level in the engine may suggest oil dilution due to the mixing of oil and water. To resolve this issue, some owners find it necessary to change the oil multiple times to ensure all water is removed from the engine. It is crucial for owners encountering this problem to seek prompt assistance from a qualified mechanic to prevent further engine damage.
