Chrysler 300C, LX (EU)

Additional Notes

• The Chrysler 300C LX (EU) automatic transmission specifications list two distinct capacity figures for most configurations: a dry fill and a service fill. The dry fill of 7.7 liters represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or replacement. The service fill of 5 liters reflects the smaller volume needed when fluid is changed during routine maintenance, since a portion of fluid remains in the torque converter and passages even after draining.
• A separate 9-liter figure appears across all three engine variants for 2011-2014. In the 3.0 V6 CRD and 3.6 V6 configurations, the 9-liter value is listed without a fill-type label alongside the separately labeled 7.7-liter dry fill and 5-liter service fill entries, indicating an alternative capacity specification. For the 5.7 HEMI V8 in 2011-2012, the 9-liter figure is explicitly labeled as a service fill, which is notably higher than the 5-liter service fill listed in the accompanying entry for the same engine.
• The 3.0 V6 CRD in 2011-2012 carries a normal-use change interval of 160,000 km or 96 months, while severe-use conditions reduce the interval to 100,000 km or 60 months. The same distance thresholds apply to the 2012-2014 version of the same engine, but the time-based limits extend significantly to 192 months under normal use and 120 months under severe use.
• The 3.6 V6 petrol engine in 2011-2012 has a longer distance-based normal-use interval of 192,000 km compared to the 160,000 km specified for the 3.0 V6 CRD covering the same years. Under severe use, the 3.6 V6 interval drops to 96,000 km or 48 months, which is a shorter time allowance than the 60 months assigned to the diesel under the same condition.
• The 5.7 HEMI V8 in 2011-2012 shares the same change intervals as the 3.6 V6 for the same period: 192,000 km or 96 months under normal use, and 96,000 km or 48 months under severe use. Both engines differ from the 3.0 V6 CRD in that year range, which uses lower distance thresholds.
• For the 3.6 V6 and 5.7 HEMI V8 in 2012-2014, no change interval is listed in the specifications. Only capacity values are recorded for those configurations, with the 7.7-liter dry fill and 5-liter service fill entries present alongside the unlabeled or separately noted 9-liter figure.
• Severe-use intervals consistently apply shorter km and month thresholds than normal-use intervals across all engine variants and year ranges where both conditions are specified. For the 3.0 V6 CRD in 2011-2012, the severe-use distance interval is 37.5% shorter than the normal-use distance interval, while the time-based reduction is proportionally similar at 37.5% as well.
• The shift in time-based intervals between the 2011-2012 and 2012-2014 3.0 V6 CRD specifications is substantial. The normal-use time limit doubles from 96 months to 192 months, and the severe-use limit doubles from 60 months to 120 months, while the corresponding distance thresholds remain unchanged at 160,000 km and 100,000 km respectively.
