Description
About the Dodge Stratus Engine
This is the 2.7L V6, engine code EER, the power unit that gave the second-generation Dodge Stratus its smooth, confident character, as the live page describes. Built from 2001 to 2006, it is a DOHC 24-valve design with an aluminum block and aluminum heads, fed by sequential multi-port fuel injection and mounted transversely to drive the front wheels through a 4-speed automatic. It makes about 200 hp and 190 lb-ft, a clear step up from the base four-cylinder, with quiet running and good low-end response.
Why Stratus Owners Replace the Engine
High mileage and oil-related wear are the usual reasons this V6 gets replaced, and the 2.7L in particular depends on diligent oil maintenance to stay healthy. A sound EER engine restores the Stratus’s smooth power delivery and quiet cruising, with the engine inspected for compression before it ships. The honest path forward is a good used engine plus a strict synthetic-oil and regular-service routine.
Things to Confirm Before Ordering
- Your exact model year, confirmed by VIN; the listing tags a 2001 donor, so the year should be reconciled to your vehicle
- Your oil and service plan: the 2.7L V6 is oil-maintenance sensitive, so quality synthetic oil and regular changes are important for longevity
- Your transmission and accessories: this is a front-wheel-drive engine paired with a 4-speed automatic, and accessories transfer at install
