Capacities, torques and tune-up values from the factory service manual.

This engine 70W-80 · MS-2395 in the differential, DOT 3 · SAE J1703 brake fluid. Torque the oil drain plug to 21.0 ft-lbs. The firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. Note the cylinder-head bolts finish on a torque angle (torque-to-yield) — they stretch permanently and should be replaced, not reused, during any head service.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2016 Chrysler 200 sits in a generation marked by extreme volatility, with complaint volume swinging from 13 in 2010 to a peak of 1,983 in 2015, then declining sharply to 342 in the target year and just 43 by 2017. The 2016 model year still carries an elevated count paired with 2 recalls and 337 TSBs—the latter among the higher totals in the dataset—indicating that whatever drove the 2015 surge was substantially, though not completely, addressed by the second model year. Safety-adjacent categories dominate the 2016 complaint profile: air bags lead at 55, followed by engine (40), power train (17), and electrical system (16), while 22 crash-related and 11 fire-related complaints within a single model year are notable red flags that warrant direct inquiry. The continued downward arc through 2017 and 2018 suggests these issues were transitional rather than chronic, placing 2016 at the front edge of the improvement curve. For a used-car buyer, the 2016 model is a defensible but not standout choice—a pre-purchase inspection focused on air bag warning lights, engine performance, and electrical faults is essential, and both open recalls should be verified as completed before purchase.
