The manufacturer of the 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser recommends using SAE 5w-30 oil, although SAE 0w-30 can also be used. It's important to avoid mixing oils, so the engine should be drained before switching to a different type. The engine of the car requires 4.5 quarts or 4.3 liters of oil for the 2.4 liter DOHC I-4, as per the factory guidelines for oil and filter changes. When choosing oil for the vehicle, ensure that it meets the proper specifications and look for the API certification seal to indicate it's approved for Chrysler vehicles. With conventional oil, an oil change is needed every 3500 miles, while full synthetic oil requires changing both oil and filter every 5500 to 7000 miles.
