2.4 Tigershark MultiAir2 I4 — Chrysler 200 · 2015–2017
- Oil capacity
- 5.2 liters
- Manufacturer-publishedSource
- 'Oil Capacity 5.5 quarts (5.2 liters)' — 2016/2017 press spec sheets, filter not stated.
- Coolant
- FCA MS.90032 — Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology)
- Manufacturer-publishedSource
- Every manual checked (2015-2026) names OAT coolant to MS.90032; the 2014 Dodge Dart manual names the earlier Chrysler OAT standard MS-12106. 'Should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any "globally compatible" coolant'; not designed for propylene-glycol coolant. The same coolant is specified for intercooler, motor-generator, power-electronics and battery circuits. Capacity varies by vehicle, engine and towing package — read the manual's Fluid Capacities table.
- Brake fluid
- DOT 3 · SAE J1703
- Manufacturer-publishedSource
- US-designed Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler models: 'Mopar DOT 3 Brake Fluid, SAE J1703'; manuals up to about 2019 add 'If DOT 3 ... is not available, then DOT 4 is acceptable'. The 2023-2024 Wrangler and 2023 Ram 1500 manuals print 'SAE J1709' — apparently a misprint for J1703 (later manuals print J1703 again). Italian-designed models (Renegade, Hornet, ProMaster, ProMaster City) take DOT 4 changed every two years — see their engine entries.
