Chrysler Specification MS-6395. It is recommended that

engine oils that are API Certified and meet the require-

ments of Material Standard MS-6395 be used. MS-6395

contains additional requirements, developed during ex-

tensive fleet testing, to provide additional protection to

Chrysler Group LLC engines.

Starting

The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use

when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the

range of 0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), an increase in the time

it takes for your engine to start may be experienced, and

a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations)

until the engine is fully warmed up. These issues may be

improved with the use of seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel.
NOTE:

Use of the engine block heater (if equipped) may

improve engine start time when using E-85 fuel when the

ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C).

Cruising Range

Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon/liter

than gasoline, an increase in fuel consumption will be

experienced. The miles per gallon (mpg)/Kilometers per

liter and the driving range will decrease by approxi-

mately 30%, compared to gasoline operation.

Replacement Parts

All fuel and engine components in your Flexible Fuel

Vehicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible with ethanol.

Ethanol compatible service components are required.

CAUTION!

Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol
compatible components can damage your vehicle.
