Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 6 months, depending on driving conditions. Manual will provide precise factory recommendation.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended every 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 km). Manual will specify exact interval and procedure.
Engine Oil Type:
Likely SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40 synthetic blend or full synthetic, depending on engine. Manual will specify Mopar or equivalent.
Coolant Type:
Chrysler's HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) coolant or equivalent, typically a pink or orange color.
Common Problems:
Potential issues include transmission solenoid failures (especially on earlier 41TE transmissions), radiator leaks, power sliding door mechanism issues, and HVAC blower motor resistor failure. Manual will aid in diagnosing these.
Timing Belt Chain:
These V6 engines use timing chains, which are generally maintenance-free for the life of the engine, unlike timing belts.
