Chrysler Pacifica Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2017-2025 (minivan) Chrysler Pacifica, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil-life monitor, max 10,000 mi / 12 mo; severe 4,000 mi |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.6L Pentastar V6, 0W-20, 9-speed auto; or PHEV (same V6 + eFlite EVT) |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Chrysler Pacifica note: The PHEV uses the same 3.6 V6 but with the eFlite electrically-variable transmission (no scheduled fluid service), and its 10yr/150k coolant flush covers three loops — engine, power electronics, and the high-voltage battery.
