Additional Notes

  • All five configurations of the Chrysler Pacifica RU carry a 6-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity, and each is designated as a service fill figure rather than an overhaul capacity.
  • A service fill capacity reflects the amount of fluid needed when draining and refilling the transmission during routine maintenance, not the total system volume that would be required when rebuilding or replacing the unit entirely.
  • The standard 3.6 V6 and the 3.6 V6 FlexFuel variant share an identical 6-liter service fill, indicating no difference in transmission fluid capacity between the gasoline-only and flex-fuel powertrain configurations.
  • The AWD configurations, both the standard 3.6 V6 AWD and the 3.6 V6 AWD FlexFuel, also carry the same 6-liter service fill as the front-wheel-drive variants, meaning the addition of all-wheel drive hardware does not alter the automatic transmission fluid capacity.
  • The Pacifica Hybrid 3.6 V6, despite incorporating a plug-in hybrid drivetrain alongside the conventional automatic transmission, shares the same 6-liter service fill capacity as the non-hybrid configurations.
  • All five configurations list normal as the use condition tied to the 6-liter service fill, meaning the specified capacity applies under standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
  • The AWD configurations carry a starting year of 2019, while the standard 3.6 V6 and FlexFuel front-wheel-drive variants carry a starting year of 2016, reflecting a later introduction of the AWD drivetrain option within the RU generation.
  • The Pacifica Hybrid 3.6 V6 carries a starting year of 2017, placing its introduction one model year after the standard and FlexFuel front-wheel-drive variants within the same generation.
