2000 Dodge Quad and Club Cab Pick-up — 8.0L V10

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2000 Quad and Club Cab Pick-up 8.0L V10.

Engine 8.0L V10

Built on the BE chassis, the 2000 Dodge Quad and Club Cab Pick-up pairs its dual cab configurations with the 8.0L V10 engine, a substantial powerplant that requires 7.0 quarts of 10W-30 API oil for proper lubrication. This combination establishes the truck as a straightforward heavy-duty offering, and from a reliability standpoint, the 2000 model year sits in a remarkably stable position within the platform's history. Generating zero recalls and only 11 total owner complaints primarily focused on the vehicle's structure, this iteration proves to be a largely trouble-free platform for researchers, provided they account for those specific structural concerns.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 30,000 mi; coolant every 6,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 6,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2000 Dodge Quad and Club Cab Pick-up lead in one area — the structure, 2 of 11 reports (18%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the structure pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
