2017 Ram ProMaster Fluid Type Specs

Quick Reference

Note: Capacities are approximate and may vary based on specific engine/transmission configurations and trim levels. Always verify with your owner's manual.

Engine Oil

The 2017 Ram ProMaster, depending on its engine configuration, requires specific engine oil to ensure optimal performance and longevity. For the 3.6L Pentastar V6 gasoline engine, the factory recommendation is SAE 5W-20 API SN/SP synthetic engine oil. The 3.0L EcoDiesel engine, however, specifies SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4 ACEA E-9 full synthetic engine oil. It's crucial to use oil that meets Chrysler's material standard MS-6395 for gasoline engines and MS-11106 for diesel engines.

Capacity: The 3.6L Pentastar V6 typically holds approximately 6.2 quarts (5.9 liters) with a filter change. The 3.0L EcoDiesel requires about 6.9 quarts (6.5 liters) with a filter change. Always recheck the dipstick after filling and run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the oil before a final check.

Intervals: For the gasoline engine, the oil change interval can range from 8,000 to 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal driving conditions. For severe duty, this interval should be shortened. The EcoDiesel generally has an oil change interval of 10,000 miles or 12 months, though heavy-duty use might necessitate more frequent changes. Always refer to your owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date service schedule based on your vehicle's specific usage.

Common Pitfalls: Using the wrong oil viscosity or a non-synthetic oil in the EcoDiesel can lead to premature wear and potential engine damage. Never mix different types of oil. Ensure the oil meets the specified API and manufacturer standards to protect your engine and maintain warranty compliance.

Engine Coolant

The 2017 Ram ProMaster uses a specific Organic Additive Technology (OAT) coolant with a pink/violet color (Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula). This coolant is formulated for extended life and is designed to prevent corrosion and maintain proper engine temperature. The manufacturer specification for this coolant is MS-90032.

Capacity: The 3.6L Pentastar V6 system holds approximately 10.6 quarts (10 liters), while the 3.0L EcoDiesel system capacity is around 12.0 quarts (11.4 liters). These are approximate total system capacities; actual refil amounts will vary depending on the extent of drainage during service.

Intervals: This long-life coolant typically has a service interval of 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, it
