Additional Notes

  • All five configurations listed for the Chrysler Pacifica, CS carry a rear differential fluid capacity of 0.7 liter, a figure consistent with a compact rear differential unit rather than a full-size axle assembly.
  • The 0.7 liter figure applies uniformly across the 3.5 V6, 3.8 V6, and 4.0 V6 AWD variants, indicating no capacity difference between engine configurations for the rear differential service fill.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V AWD in the Canadian market specifies a 34,000 km change interval under normal use conditions, while the same engine in the US market carries a 21,000 mile interval rated for severe use conditions.
  • The 3.8 V6 AWD follows the same regional pattern as the 3.5 V6, with the Canadian specification set at 34,000 km under normal use and the US specification at 21,000 miles under severe use.
  • A severe use interval of 21,000 miles reflects operating conditions that place greater stress on the fluid, such as frequent towing, off-road driving, or repeated short trips, which accelerate fluid degradation relative to normal use.
  • The 4.0 V6 AWD, available only in the US market for 2007-2008, carries a notably longer change interval of 60,000 miles or 60 months under normal use conditions, a figure substantially greater than the 21,000-mile severe interval assigned to the 3.5 and 3.8 V6 US configurations.
  • The 60-month time limit paired with the 60,000-mile interval on the 4.0 V6 AWD means fluid age alone can trigger a service requirement even when mileage accumulation is low, a dual-trigger structure not present in the other configurations listed.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V AWD configurations cover model years 2003-2007, while the 3.8 V6 AWD and 4.0 V6 AWD configurations extend through 2008, reflecting a difference in the production span of each engine variant within the CS generation.
