Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
The sheet lists no spare; the manual describes a compact spare, a full-size spare or a tire service kit, depending on equipment.
Lug nut torque
100 ft-lb (135 N·m), M12 x 1.25 thread, 19 mm socket
Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2015 Chrysler 200 Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2015 Chrysler 200 maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect the CV joints
  • Inspect front suspension, boot seals, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function

The smallest 2015 factory size is 215/55R17, the largest 235/40R19. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 17-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.

The oil grade on a January morning

The 2015 Chrysler 200 fluids table lists SAE 0W-20 (2.4L) and SAE 5W-20 (3.6L), with 5.5 qt (2.4L) and 6 qt (3.6L) per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.

Starting in single digits

Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change, and the spec sheet rates it at 600 to 730 cold-cranking amps. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In Ohio, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

When the schedule shortens oil changes

No matter what the indicator says, intervals top out at 10,000 miles. Warm-up idling and slow lake-effect commutes rack up running time faster than the odometer shows, so the calendar can be the limit that comes first.

Filters for dust and pollen

The cabin air filter first comes up at 20,000 miles. Spring pollen in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys is heavy, and a clogged cabin filter also slows the defroster in winter because it chokes the blower's airflow. It is a five-minute job on most vehicles.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2015 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
