The standard 3.8-liter V6 engine in the 2008 Chrysler Pacifica takeS4.7 liters (4.9 quarts) of 5W-20 motor oil. However, 10W-30 is a suitable replacement in warmer climates. The purpose of oil is to lubricate the engine to reduce friction. It also helps keep the engine cool and prevents corrosion. Old, low, or thick oil can't do its job properly and can result in expensive engine damage, so routine changes are required. Chrysler recommends replacing this fluid in the Pacifica every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever You arrive to first. This is just a guideline though. Your maintenance interval will be based on Your local environment and personal driving habits. The average cost to have this fluid replaced at a dealership is $130 to $140. This includes around $40 for labor, so You can save some money, if You handle it Yourself. Make sure You reset the oil life to 100% when You're done.
