What oil type is used in a 1997 Chrysler cirrus?

The recommended oil type for a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus depends on the engine it has. Chrysler Cirrus models from that year came with either a 2.0L or a 2.5L engine. The owner's manual is the best source for this information.

However, generally speaking, for that era, a conventional 5W-30 would likely be a safe bet. But again, check your owner's manual for the *exact* recommendation from Chrysler for your specific engine. The manual will specify the oil type (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic) and the viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30). Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
