NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change

intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or six months,
whichever occurs first.

Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection under all

types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only

recommends full synthetic engine oils that meet the

requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-10725

and are approved to MB 229.3 or MB 229.5 (will be listed

on the back label of the oil container).
The manufacturer recommends the use of a full synthetic

5W-40 or equivalent engine oil.

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.

Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade)
SAE 5W-40 engine oil is preferred for use in all operating

temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended

engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on

engine oil filler cap location, refer to “Engine Compart-

ment” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further

information.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom-

mended oil quality requirements are met, and the recom-

mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes

are followed.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
Do not add any supplemental materials, other than leak

detection dyes, to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engi-

neered product and its performance may be impaired by

supplemental additives.
