1. Every 6 months or 5,000-7,500 miles: Change engine oil and filter using the correct specification; rotate tires; check brakes, steering, and suspension; top off fluids; and test the 12V battery. Frequent city driving or repeated short trips may benefit from the shorter end of this range.
2. Every 12 months or 15,000 miles: Replace the cabin air filter for consistent airflow and odor control; inspect alignment and tire balance; perform a brake system evaluation and brake fluid test; verify wiper condition and exterior bulbs.
3. Every 24 months or 30,000 miles: Replace the engine air filter; service brake fluid if testing indicates moisture or contamination; inspect coolant condition; assess HVAC performance; review suspension bushings and strut mounts for wear from potholes and curb bumps.
4. Every 36 months or 45,000 miles: Conduct a comprehensive brake inspection with measurements, clean and lubricate slide pins where applicable, and evaluate rear sliding doors and liftgate mechanisms for smooth operation; replace wiper blades annually or as needed.
5. Every 60 months or 60,000 miles: Inspect transmission and driveline fluids per factory recommendations; evaluate spark plug interval—some Pacifica engines use long-life plugs that can reach 100,000 miles, while others may require earlier service; check coolant replacement interval and service if due.
6. Tires and alignment at each oil service: Rotate tires front-to-back to even out wear patterns; check alignment if you notice pulling, off-center steering, vibration, or if you have encountered a severe pothole; replace tires around 3-4 mm tread depth for wet grip and stability, and consider age-related replacement around 6 years even if tread remains.
7. Brakes at each rotation: Measure pad and rotor thickness; listen for squeal or grinding; inspect calipers and hardware; replace brake pads before they reach minimum thickness to protect rotors; consider rotor replacement or resurfacing based on condition and manufacturer guidance.
8. Battery and electrical annually: Load test the 12V battery, clean terminals, and confirm charging output; cold starts and frequent accessory use can shorten battery life—replace proactively at the first signs of weakness to avoid no-starts.
9. Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid considerations: Inspect the high-voltage (HV) and engine cooling systems on the schedule in the manual; review reduction gear and eCVT fluid service guidelines; check the charge port door, harness, and EVSE (home charger) for wear; software updates may optimize charging and drive behavior—ask us to check for any available updates.
10. Local compliance and inspections: Eligible vehicles registered in Southeastern Wisconsin may require biennial emissions testing—our service department is an authorized facility; we can help you coordinate testing with routine maintenance to save a trip.

These intervals are general guidelines and may not match your specific Pacifica’s exact requirements. Always consult your owner’s manual and contact our service team for the correct schedule by model year, engine, or hybrid system. If you have recently purchased a pre-owned Pacifica and are unsure of prior maintenance, a baseline inspection with fluid, filter, and brake checks is a smart first step to reset your service timeline.

• All-weather protection: Floor liners, cargo mats, and splash guards keep carpeting and paint in better shape through slush, rain, and everyday wear.
• Cargo and travel: Crossbars, roof racks, carriers, and organizers that hold sports gear, strollers, or luggage securely and neatly.
• Family-friendly add-ons: Seat-back protectors, door-sill guards, sunshades, and interior trim pieces that stand up to busy routines.
• Style and security: Wheel locks, body-side moldings, and appearance upgrades that personalize your Pacifica without compromising function.
• Performance and towing: Tow hitches, wiring kits, and cooling components appropriate to your configuration—ask us to verify ratings for your exact model.
