Additional Notes

  • The Chrysler Pacifica CS transfer case fluid capacity holds at exactly 1 liter across all 3.5 V6 and 3.8 V6 AWD configurations, covering both Canadian and US market variants from 2003-2007 and 2003-2008 respectively. A consistent 1-liter fill across multiple engine displacements and market regions points to a shared transfer case unit in those generations.
  • The 4.0 V6 AWD (USA) from 2007-2008 carries a noticeably lower transfer case fluid capacity of 0.6-0.8 liter, compared to the flat 1-liter figure seen in the 3.5 and 3.8 V6 variants. The range rather than a fixed value suggests a fill-to-level procedure rather than a measured pour, where fluid is added until it reaches a reference port.
  • Canadian-market 3.5 V6 and 3.8 V6 AWD configurations share a normal-use change interval of 34,000 km. That figure applies to both engine variants under the same use condition, with no differentiation between the two displacements in the Canadian specifications.
  • US-market 3.5 V6 and 3.8 V6 AWD configurations carry a severe-use change interval of 15,000 miles. Severe use typically covers conditions such as frequent towing, off-road driving, or repeated short trips, and the interval assigned here reflects the more demanding end of the service spectrum.
  • The 4.0 V6 AWD (USA) 2007-2008 carries a normal-use change interval of 60,000 miles or 60 months, whichever comes first. At 60,000 miles, the interval is substantially longer than the 15,000-mile severe-use interval assigned to the earlier US-market V6 variants, reflecting a different use condition classification rather than a direct comparison between engine generations.
  • The 3.5 V6 AWD specifications cover 2003-2007 in both markets, while the 3.8 V6 AWD extends one year further to 2008 in both the Canadian and US entries. The 4.0 V6 AWD appears only in the US market data and only for 2007-2008, with no corresponding Canadian entry in the specifications.
