2017 Dodge Durango — 5.7L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Durango 5.7L.

Body SUVEngine 5.7LTransmission Automatic 8-spd

The 2017 Dodge Durango remains a full-size, body-on-frame SUV built on the WD platform, powered by a 5.7L V8 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and delivering EPA-estimated fuel economy of 14 city, 22 highway, and 17 combined mpg. With a robust 6.0-quart oil capacity requiring 0W-20 viscosity, this model year stands out as one of the more dependable entries in the Durango’s two-decade lineage, registering just 209 owner complaints—far below the 1999 peak of 2,043—while carrying only two recalls, a figure that suggests improved quality control in a segment where reliability has historically varied.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 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.

Every 10,000 mi	Battery (inspect) · Brake System (inspect) · Engine Coolant System (inspect fluid level) · Engine Coolant System Hoses (inspect) · Engine Oil (drain & refill) · Engine Oil Filter (replace)

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 2017 Dodge Durango recorded 209 complaints, 2 recalls, 2 investigations, and 282 TSBs, positioning it between the higher-volume third-generation years of 2011–2015 (which saw 502–797 complaints annually) and the quieter post-2018 period (138 complaints in 2019, falling to 53 by 2020). Compared with its immediate neighbors, 2017 logged more complaints than 2016 (159) but fewer than 2018 (228), and its recall count of 2 was the lowest of the entire third generation — well under the 10–11 recall peak seen in 2012–2014. The complaint mix is heavily skewed toward Exterior Lighting (57 of 209), followed by Electrical System (18) and Power Train (14); the data does not specify a single root cause, but the concentration in one subsystem is notable. With only 9 crash-related and 2 fire-related complaints, 2017 is not a high-severity year, and its TSB count of 282 sits below the 2014–2016 band of 302–372 TSBs. On balance, 2017 is a reasonable used-buy candidate — the federal record shows it at a relatively quiet point of the third-generation arc, though a focused inspection of the exterior lighting system is warranted given its disproportionate share of owner reports.
