Chrysler Pacifica Oil Change Specifications
The Chrysler Pacifica is the family hauler of choice for drivers across Western North Carolina — and like every modern Stellantis vehicle, it relies on full synthetic oil to keep its 3.6L Pentastar V6 running smoothly. Whether you have a standard Pacifica or the Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV), the gas-engine oil service is essentially the same. Our certified Mopar technicians use OEM-spec oil and filters on every Pacifica that comes through our service bay.
| Engine | Oil Type | Capacity | Filter | Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 (Gas) | SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic | 5.9 quarts | Mopar MO-899 | 10,000 miles |
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 + PHEV (Hybrid) | SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic | 5.9 quarts | Mopar MO-899 | 10,000 miles or 12 months |
Engine-Specific Oil Details
3.6L Pentastar V6 (Gas)
Oil Type: SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic
Capacity: 5.9 quarts
Recommended Interval: 10,000 miles
Standard engine on Pacifica Select, Limited, and Pinnacle in FWD and AWD configurations. The proven Pentastar V6 is widely used across the Stellantis lineup and known for reliability.
3.6L Pentastar V6 + PHEV (Hybrid)
Oil Type: SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic
Capacity: 5.9 quarts
Recommended Interval: 10,000 miles or 12 months
Pacifica Hybrid pairs the Pentastar V6 with an eFlite electric drive system. The gas engine oil change interval is the same as the standard Pacifica, but Stellantis recommends a 12-month maximum interval even if mileage is low.
Oil Change Tips for Your Chrysler Pacifica
- Pacifica Hybrid owners: even if you drive mostly electric, the gas engine still needs an annual oil change — schedule every 12 months regardless of mileage.
- Family minivans see a lot of short trips and stop-start driving, which counts as severe-duty operation — consider 5,000-7,500 mile intervals for max engine longevity.
- All Pacifica engines require full synthetic oil — never substitute conventional or synthetic-blend.
- Towing with the Pacifica (up to 3,600 lbs) accelerates oil breakdown — change closer to 5,000-7,500 miles when towing regularly.
- AWD Pacificas have additional driveline fluid service needs — ask our team about transfer case and rear differential service intervals.
What's Included in Every Oil Change at Mahon CDJR
Every oil change at Mahon CDJR includes a complimentary multi-point inspection performed by factory-trained Mopar technicians. We replace your oil and filter with the OEM-spec full synthetic oil your Chrysler Pacifica requires, then check fluid levels, inspect battery and terminals, verify tire pressure and wear, and examine your brake pads. You leave with a complete snapshot of your vehicle's health — not just fresh oil.
Note on Pricing: Oil change cost varies by engine and oil type. Diesel and PHEV models often use specialty oils that affect pricing. Call (828) 492-2121 for a precise estimate for your specific Chrysler Pacifica.
