Why check the motor oil level in my Chrysler 200?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Chrysler 200 engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Chrysler 200 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Chrysler 200 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Chrysler 200 oil light comes on?

Your Chrysler 200 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Does my 200's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

How Often to Change 2012 Chrysler 200 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Chrysler 200’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2012 200’s oil should be changed according to Chrysler’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Chrysler-recommended oil change intervals, your 200 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chrysler if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chrysler 200. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Chrysler 200 Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2012 Chrysler 200 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Chrysler has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2012 200. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your 200's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.
