DURING
BREAK-IN
The crankcase o i l installed i n the engine at the fac-
t o r y is a h i g h q u a l i t y , energy conserving type l u b r i -
cant.
O i l changes
should
be
consistent
w i t h
anticipated c l i m a t i c conditions under w h i c h vehicle
operation w i l l occur. The recommended S A E viscosity
grades are shown i n Fig. 1. O n l y oils w i t h the proper
A P I q u a l i t y classification should be used w h e n add-
i n g or changing the crankcase engine o i l .
CAUTION: Nondetergent or straight mineral oils
must never be used.
Frequently a n e w engine w i l l consume some o i l
d u r i n g its first few thousand miles of operation. T h i s
should be considered as a n o r m a l p a r t o f b r e a k - i n

OIL QUALITY
For m a x i m u m engine protection under a l l d r i v i n g
conditions, use only engine oils t h a t conform to A P I
Service Catagories "SG" or "SG/CD". To assure use o f
properly formulated engine oils, i t is recommended
t h a t
M O P A R
Oils, or equivalent
be used (see

VISCOSITY
Multi-viscosity oils protect t h e engine over a wide
range o f operating temperatures and d r i v i n g condi-
tions. Therefore these oils can be used a l l year round.
Select o i l viscosity according t o t h e lowest a i r t e m -
perature expected before the n e x t o i l change (Fig. 1).
L o w viscosity oils make engine s t a r t i n g easier i n cold
weather. Oils o f the S A E 5W-30 grade n u m b e r are
preferred w h e n m i n i m u m temperatures consistently
f a l l below -12°C (10°F).
ENERGY CONSERVING
There are m a n y engine oils c u r r e n t l y
available
t h a t could increase the fuel economy o f y o u r vehicle.
They are m a r k e t e d as E N E R G Y C O N S E R V I N G , or
E N E R G Y C O N S E R V I N G I I . Those oils identified as
E N E R G Y
C O N S E R V I N G
I I provide greater
fuel
economy benefits t h a n those i d e n t i f i e d as E N E R G Y
C O N S E R V I N G .
I n a d d i t i o n t o selecting t h e proper
A P I q u a l i t y category and viscosity grade, use of E N -
E R G Y C O N S E R V I N G type engine oils are preferred.
ENGINE OIL IDENTIFICATION SYMBOL

bol is located on the o i l container and i s composed o f
three distinct areas for i d e n t i f y i n g various aspects o f
