Description
The 3.6 Pentastar Engine is a powerful and versatile V6 gasoline engine designed for delivering optimum performance and reliability. Featuring a dual overhead cam (DOHC) setup with 24 valves, it delivers a smooth balance of power and fuel economy while maintaining a lightweight design, fuel efficiency and ability to run on regular unleaded fuel. Widely used across Dodge, Jeep , Chrysler and Ram vehicles, the Pentastar is engineered to handle everyday driving as well as demanding conditions with ease. Its ability to run efficiently on regular unleaded fuel makes it both cost-effective and practical, while its proven durability has earned it a strong reputation among drivers and enthusiasts alike.
Pentastar fitment requires matching your specific vehicle and model year. The minivan application differs from the truck application in output shaft configuration, and the Jeep Wrangler application uses a different accessory layout than the passenger car applications. Our VIN verification process confirms the exact Pentastar variant for your specific vehicle before it ships.
The Pentastar is one of the most common engine replacement candidates in the Chrysler lineup — and buyers consistently find the used engine route most cost-effective. A used 3.6L Pentastar engine from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory-original OEM V6 at the lowest cost in the market. Whether you are comparing a used engine, a remanufactured engine, or an OEM engine for this application, the used Pentastar gives you factory specifications intact — the factory compression ratio, the factory VVT calibration, the factory 292 hp output — all as an original OEM engine, not a remanufactured engine built from a reconditioned core.
Every used 3.6L Pentastar engine ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included, but we are happy to help you find a qualified mechanic. These are genuine Chrysler OEM engines, and we stand behind every unit.
