The 2014 Chrysler 300 with the 3.6-liter V6 typically requires 6 quarts of engine oil for a full change that includes replacing the oil filter; about 5 quarts if you do not replace the filter. This article lays out the official capacity and how to apply it during routine maintenance.
Oil capacity details for the 3.6 L engine
The numbers below reflect a standard oil-change procedure that includes installing a new filter. Official service data lists 6 quarts (5.7 L) with the oil filter. If you drain the oil but do not replace the filter, you can use roughly 5 quarts (4.7 L). Always consult the owner's manual for your exact vehicle configuration.
- 6 quarts (5.7 L) with oil filter change
- 5 quarts (4.7 L) without filter change
In practice, most owners perform a full change with a new filter and plan for 6 quarts. If you're topping up or performing a partial drain without changing the filter, you may only need about 5 quarts.
Practical guidance for performing the oil change
Before starting, verify the correct oil viscosity for your climate and vehicle. The standard recommendation for many 2014 Chrysler 300 models is 5W-20 in the United States, but you should confirm the exact specification in your owner's manual. Below are general steps for a typical oil-change procedure.
- Warm up the engine briefly, then park on a level surface and gather all supplies (oil, filter, drain pan, wrench, funnel, gloves).
- Drain the old oil by removing the drain plug and allowing it to fully drain into the pan.
- Remove the old oil filter, install the new filter, and lubricate the filter seal with a small amount of new oil.
- Replace the drain plug securely, then begin adding oil. Start with about 5 quarts, then check the level with the dipstick.
- Run the engine for a minute, turn it off, wait a moment, and recheck the oil level. Add more oil if needed to reach the full mark, and dispose of used oil properly.
Note: Always follow local regulations for oil disposal and consult a qualified technician if you’re unsure about the process.
Summary
For a 2014 Chrysler 300 with the 3.6 L engine, plan on 6 quarts of oil for a full change that includes a new filter (5 quarts if not replacing the filter). Use the viscosity specified in your owner’s manual, typically 5W-20 in many climates, and always verify the exact requirements for your vehicle.
