2017 Chrysler 300 fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2017 Chrysler 300 at 19–23 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder (RWD) is the most efficient and the 5.7L 8-cylinder (RWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

2017 Chrysler 300 wheels & tires

Factory tire and wheel sizes, spare and the pressure to run, from the spec sheet and owner's manual.

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 collapsible spare or a tire service kit, depending on equipment.
Lug nut torque: 130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 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 (2017 Chrysler 300 Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2017 Chrysler 300 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.

Read for lake-effect country

What counts on a 2017 Chrysler 300 from Michigan to Tennessee

None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2017 Chrysler 300 lines that matter for a Bowling Green winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.

Tire choices for squall and thaw

Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P225/60R18 on 18-inch wheels to 245/45R20 on 20-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.

The oil grade on a January morning

The 2017 Chrysler 300 fluids table lists SAE 5W-20, with 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L) 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 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.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

The 2017 lineup includes rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.

Trailer duty in the schedule

Regular towing puts the 2017 Chrysler 300 on the schedule's trailer rows: transfer case fluid and axle fluid service, first at 50,000 miles. A summer of hauling a boat to Lake Cumberland, Norris Lake or a Lake Michigan launch counts. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so a trailer's real corrosion threat here is winter road salt, not the ramp.

Gravel hollow roads and the air filter

The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.

Octane from the owner data

The owner data specifies 87 octane, with 89 recommended. A higher grade than the manual asks for adds cost without benefit, while a lower one than required makes the engine pull back ignition timing, which shows most under load on a long Appalachian climb.

Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2017 300. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.
