INTRODUCTION
Service and maintenance procedures for compo­
nents and systems listed in Schedule—A or B can be
found by using the Group Tab Locator index at the
front of this manual. I f it is not clear which group
contains the information needed, refer to the index at
the back of this manual.
There are two maintenance schedules that show
proper service based on the conditions that the vehi­
cle is subjected to.
Schedule—A, lists scheduled maintenance to be
performed when the vehicle is used for general trans­
portation.
Schedule—B, lists maintenance intervals for vehi­
cles that are operated under the conditions listed at
the beginning of the Maintenance Schedule section.
Use the schedule that best describes your driving
conditions.
Where time and mileage are listed, follow the
interval that occurs first.
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation
recommends that only Mopar* brand parts, lubri­
cants and chemicals be used. Mopar provides the
best engineered products for servicing Chrysler Cor­
poration vehicles.
