Expert Insight:

What is "MultiAir" Technology?

You’ll see the "MultiAir" badge on the engine cover, but what does it actually do for you on the roads of Mercer County?

Traditional engines use a fixed mechanical camshaft to open and close intake valves. MultiAir technology replaces that with an electro-hydraulic system that can control the air intake valve with infinite precision.

The Result: The engine can adjust its "breathing" instantly. If you are cruising on I-79, it leans out for maximum MPG. If you need to pass a truck on Route 19, it opens up for immediate torque. It’s smarter power.

Why Buy a 2.4L Tigershark from Us?

Because these vehicles fall into the 2015-2017 model years, buying from a private seller carries risks. You may have read forums discussing oil consumption or transmission software updates for this era of vehicles.

We believe in total transparency. The 2.4L engine requires specific maintenance to run perfectly. When you buy from a private party, you don't know if the oil changes were done on time or if the factory software updates were performed.

At Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we remove that risk through our CPO Go Program.

The "CPO Go" Safety Net

Most 2.4L Chrysler 200s in our inventory qualify for the CPO Go certification, designed specifically for vehicles up to 10 model years old with under 120,000 miles.

  • 125-Point Inspection: Our factory-trained technicians specifically check the Tigershark’s oil pressure systems and valve actuation to ensure the engine is healthy before you buy it. We also verify that all transmission software updates have been applied.
  • 3-Month / 3,000-Mile Maximum Care Warranty: Covers repair or replacement of most major powertrain components (engine, transmission, driveline) and over 5,000 other vehicle components.
  • Roadside Assistance: Includes towing, flat-tire service ("Sign and Go"), and battery-jump assistance.
  • Car Rental Allowance: Up to $35 per day ($175 maximum per occurrence) if repairs take overnight.

Don't gamble on a used car corner lot. Drive a Certified 200 with confidence.

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips

To keep your 2.4L Tigershark running for 200,000 miles, follow these rules from the Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service Center:

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips
  • Stick to the Oil Spec: This engine requires 0W-20 Synthetic Oil. Do not use thicker oil or conventional oil; the MultiAir hydraulic system relies on the correct fluid thickness to open the valves properly.
  • Watch the Interval: We recommend changing the oil every 5,000-7,500 miles, even if the manual says longer. Clean oil is the lifeblood of the MultiAir system.
  • Battery Health: Modern engines with start/stop technology and electronic valves need a strong battery. If your starts feel sluggish, stop by for a free battery check.
