1995 Eagle Vision — 3.3L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1995 Vision 3.3L.

Body PASSENGER CAREngine 3.3LTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 1995 Eagle Vision is a passenger car built on the LH platform, powered by a 3.3L engine paired with an automatic 4-speed transmission and EPA-rated at 18/26/21 mpg. Routine oil service calls for 4.5 quarts of 10W-30 API oil with filter. Across the 1992-2003 production run, the 1995 model accumulated 128 owner complaints, placing it well below the 1993 peak of 199 grievances but far above the 1992 low of a single reported issue. That positioning—closer to the nameplate's highest complaint volume than its lowest—translates to a comparatively high incidence of owner-reported problems, led by power train issues and accompanied by three recalls.

Fitment & sizes

Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 34 · 600 CCA battery, OE oil filter 05281090AB. Note the factory engine air filter, fuel filter, serpentine belt and thermostat are now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 30,000 mi; coolant every 7,500 mi. The big-interval services (every 7,500 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 federal record indicates a consistent downward trend in complaints and recalls from the 1993 peak of 199 complaints and 5 recalls to the 1995 model year's 128 complaints and 3 recalls. However, 1995 stands out within this arc for having the highest number of Technical Service Bulletins at 80, exceeding even the earlier years with higher complaint volumes. This places the 1995 model in a middle ground where reported issues are declining but remain significantly higher than the 45 complaints, 2 recalls, and 5 investigations recorded for the 1996 model year. Specific data for 1995 highlights Power Train, Fuel System, Gasoline, and Steering as the top complaint areas, though the record does not specify the root causes for these failures. Ultimately, given the persistent investigations and peak TSB count, this model year carries elevated risk compared to subsequent years, making it a less desirable purchase within the generation.
