How to Change Engine Oil 05-10 Chrysler 300

Difficulty: Beginner · About 35 min · Chrysler 300

Change engine oil on a 2005–2010 Chrysler 300 and verify the final dipstick level after the engine has circulated oil.

Steps

1. Drain the used oil

   Warm the engine briefly, switch it off, chock the wheels, and lift the vehicle using approved points. Support it on jack stands, place a drain pan beneath the oil pan, remove the drain plug, and allow the oil to drain completely.

2. Remove and replace the oil filter

   Position the drain pan beneath the filter, remove the old filter, and check that its gasket did not remain on the engine. Lightly oil the new filter seal and install the filter by hand according to its instructions.

3. Refit the drain plug and refill

   Install the drain plug with a sound sealing washer and tighten it to the vehicle specification. Lower the vehicle, add the specified oil through a funnel, and reinstall the filler cap.

4. Check level and leaks

   Start the engine briefly, check around the filter and drain plug for leaks, then shut it off and wait for oil to settle. Read the dipstick, adjust to the marked range, and take used oil and the filter to a recycling facility.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
