ENGINE OIL - DIESEL ENGINES

SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
CAUTION: Low viscosity oils must have the proper
API quality.
Only use engine oils that are labeled on the con-
tainer as meeting API (American Petroleum Insti-
tute) and/or DaimlerChrysler
228.3, 228.5, 229.3, and 229.5, such as MOPAR SAE
15W-40 HD Diesel Engine Oil (e.g. MOPAR
No. 03798231AD), or equivalent.
Do not add any materials (other than leak detec-
tion dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engi-
neered product and it's performance may be impaired
by supplemental additives.
When topping off engine oil, only use oil of the
same quality grade and SAE classification.
Always refer to the following viscosity chart for the
proper viscosity grade based on ambient tempera-
ture. Select oil viscosity according to the lowest air
temperature expected before the next oil change.
The temperature limits given for the different SAE
classes should be regarded as guidelines which may
be exceeded temporarily to avoid excessively frequent
engine oil changes.
