• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained
high speeds during hot weather, above 90°F
(32°C).
• Trailer towing.
• Taxi, Police or delivery service (commercial
service).
• Off-Road or desert operation.
If ANY of these apply to you, then change your
engine oil every 3,000 miles (4 800 km) or 3
months, whichever comes first on vehicles
equipped with gasoline engines or every 20 000
km on vehicles equipped with diesel engines.
If none of these apply to you, then change your
engine oil every 7,500 miles (12 000 km) or 6
months whichever comes first on vehicles
equipped with gasoline engines or every 10 000
km on vehicles equipped with diesel engines.
Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection
under all types of operating conditions, select only
engine oils that meet American Petroleum Institute
(API) certification and SAE viscosity standards or
ACEA- A1 standards.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil
Identification Symbol
This symbol on the
front of an oil con-
tainer means that the
oil has been certified
by the American Pe-
troleum
(API) to meet all the
lubrication
ments specified by
Chrysler
tional.
Engine Oil Viscosity Chart
The proper SAE viscosity grade of engine oil
should be selected based on the following recom-
mendation and be within the operating tempera-
ture shown in the engine oil viscosity chart.
• SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred. SAE 5W-30
engine oils improve low temperature starting
and helps vehicle fuel economy. If SAE 5W-30
grade is not available, then SAE 5W-40 grade is
acceptable.
Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil
certification mark and the correct SAE viscosity
Institute
grade number should not be used.
Synthetic Engine Oils — All Engines
require-
You may use synthetic engine oils provided that
the recommended oil quality requirements are
Interna-
met and the recommended maintenance intervals
for oil and filter changes are followed.
Materials Added to Engine Oil — All Engines
Chrysler International does not recommend the
addition of any additive to the specified engine oil.
Engine Oil Filter — All Engines
The oil filter should be replaced with a new oil filter
at every oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection — All Engines
All Chrysler International engines have a full-flow
type oil filter. Use a filter of this type for replace-
ment. The quality of replacement filters varies
considerably. Only high quality filters should be
used to assure most efficient service. Mopar En-
gine Oil Filters are a high quality oil filter and are
recommended.
