OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2017 (2017).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
5.00 OZS. (0.14 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid (2.4L Eng)
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 5.3 to 7.4 qts. All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Brake Fluid
— DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Engine Coolant (2.4L Eng)
8.20 QTS. (7.76 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (2.4L Eng)
5.00 QTS. (4.73 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Transfer Case Fluid
0.85 QTS. (0.8 L) — Synthetic Lubricant - Transfer Case SAE 75W-90
Automatic Transmission Fluid (3.6L Eng)
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 5.3 to 7.4 qts. All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Coolant (3.6L Eng)
10.80 QTS. (10.22 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (3.6L Eng)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Power Steering Fluid (3.6L Eng)
2.20 PTS. (1.04 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI
