Short answer

The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica oil change interval is every 10,000 mi or 12 months, whichever comes first. Change the oil and filter when the oil change indicator shows "Oil Change Required", within the next 500 mi; severe operating conditions can bring the message on as early as 3,500 mi since the last reset. Never exceed 10,000 mi, 12 months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first (the 350-hour limit mainly concerns fleet customers). Severe duty (operated in a dusty and off-road environment, or predominantly at idle or only very low engine rpm): change the oil at 4,000 mi or 350 hours of engine run time.
