I have the car listed above rt Hemi, how do I know if this one has the wrong dipstick or not? conflicting news on the forums with regards the TSB, here is my VIN:
2C3CDXCT2FH762402
Also, if I drain it completely, what is the total capacity that must be in it?

You would need to look at the sticker on the door and find the build date of the car and see if it was built on or before June 2, 2015. Then look at the part number on the stick. However, the TSB I have only shows it applies to the Jeep and Durango and not the Charger. and it isn't listed in the TSBs for the Charger. Oil capacity is 7 quarts.

FYI that vehicle shows 2 open recalls on it

Recall Date: 01/15/2019
Manufacturer Safety recall issued
NHTSA #19V-018
Recall #V01 PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR
Status: Remedy available

Recall Date: 07/16/2019
Manufacturer Emissions recall issued
Recall #UB4 UB4 - 2013-2016 MY L-CAR VAPOR CAN
Status: Remedy available

Someone already replaced the OE dipstick in that car, the one you show is a Dorman replacement. I would change the oil and filter, add 7 quarts and start the engine. Then see where the oil is on the stick. If it's the correct one the oil will be in the safe area, if it's the wrong one it would read about a quart low.

Added 6.5-7 quarts and it looks right now.

Sounds like it's the correct stick.
