Checking Oil Level — 5.7L Engine
To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must

be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at

regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to

check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will

improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain

the oil level in the “SAFE” range. Adding 1.0 qt (1.0 L) of

oil when the reading is at the bottom of the “SAFE” range

will result in an oil level at the top of the “SAFE” range

on these engines.

CAUTION!

Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or
loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine.

Change Engine Oil
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is

time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.

Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for further informa-

tion.
NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change in-
tervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve
months, whichever occurs first.

Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection under all

types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only

recommends engine oils that are API Certified and meet

the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-6395.
