Engine Oil
Change Engine Oil
Refer to "Scheduled Servicing" in this section
for the proper maintenance intervals.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
12 months or 350 hours of engine run time,
whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine
run or idle time is generally only a concern for
fleet customers.
Engine Oil Selection — 1.3L Turbo Engine
For best performance and maximum protection
for turbocharged engines under all types of
operating conditions, the manufacturer recom-
mends synthetic engine oils that are API Certi-
fied and meet the requirements of FCA Material
Standard MS-13340
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) — 1.3L Turbo
Engine
Mopar SAE 0W-30 SN PLUS synthetic engine oil
is recommended for all operating temperatures.
This engine oil improves low temperature
starting and vehicle fuel economy. Your engine
oil filler cap also states the recommended
engine oil viscosity grade for your engine.
Lubricants which do not have both the engine
oil certification mark and the correct SAE
viscosity grade number should not be used.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil
Identification Symbol
This symbol means that the oil has been
certified by the American Petroleum Insti-
tute (API). The manufacturer only recom-
mends API Certified engine oils.
This symbol certifies 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30,
5W-30 and 10W-30 engine oils.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine
oil as the chemicals can damage your
engine. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends
against the addition of any additives (other than
leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil
is an engineered product and its performance
may be impaired by supplemental additives.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used
engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used
oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can
present a problem to the environment. Contact
an authorized dealer, service station or govern-
mental agency for advice on how and where
used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in
your area.
Engine Oil Filter
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a
new filter at every engine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
This manufacturer's engines have a full-flow
type disposable oil filter. Use a filter of this type
for replacement. The quality of replacement
filters varies considerably. Only high quality
filters should be used to ensure most efficient
service. Mopar engine oil filters are high quality
oil filters and are recommended.
