🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Every 3,000-7,500 miles (5,000-12,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type. Consult manual for specific recommendations.

Transmission Fluid Change Interval:

Every 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 km) or as recommended by Chrysler. Crucial for the longevity of the 42LE transmission.

Coolant Replacement Interval:

Every 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 km) or 2-4 years. Use Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent HOAT coolant.

Engine Oil Type:

SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40, API Certified (Refer to manual for precise viscosity grades based on ambient temperature).

Coolant Type:

Chrysler HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) or equivalent.

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 3

Common Problems:

Transmission fluid leaks, valve body issues in the 42LE transmission, intake manifold gasket leaks (particularly on the 3.5L engine), power steering pump leaks, alternator failure, occasional electrical gremlins (e.g., window regulators, door locks).

Common Issues Detail:

The 42LE transmission is known for potential harsh shifting and eventual failure if not properly maintained. Early models of the 3.5L engine can suffer from intake manifold gasket failures leading to coolant leaks into the oil.

📚 Vehicle History

Brand Identity:

Chrysler historically positioned the New Yorker nameplate as a premium, full-size luxury sedan.

Generation Introduction:

The Vision was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the Dodge Monaco/Eagle Premier based New Yorker. The 1990-1992 New Yorker models were on a different platform (AMC/Renault heritage). This manual specifically covers the LH platform Vision.

Platform Significance:

The LH platform was a significant departure for Chrysler, featuring a cab-forward design and becoming the basis for many successful Chrysler, Dodge, and Eagle vehicles of the era.

Manufacturing Location:

Brampton, Ontario, Canada

Production Period:

1993-1997 (Manual covers up to 1996, but the model range is accurately captured).

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Automotive Journal Ratings:

The LH platform vehicles, including the Vision, were generally well-received for their styling, ride quality, and interior space upon introduction. Specific awards for the New Yorker Vision model are not widely publicized but the platform as a whole was a critical success for Chrysler.
