Fuel Water Separation — Must Use Mopar
Approved Fuel Filter Elements
Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water

accelerates microbial growth. Your Mopar filtration sys-

tem is designed to provide adequate fuel water separa-

tion capabilities.
Fuel In Oil Dilution — Must Adhere To Required
Oil Change Interval
Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with

the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%.

To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must

be maintained with in the suggested schedule. The

regular use of biodiesel between 6% and 20% requires

intervals shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles and must

not exceed the suggested schedule. When routinely op-

erating on biodiesel between 6% and 20%, oil and filter

replacement intervals must not exceed 8,000 Miles or 6

months, which ever comes first.

Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals
The use of biodiese requires intervals shorter than the

outlined 30,000 miles (48 280 km) and must not exceed

the suggested schedule. When operating on biodiesel

between 6% and 20%, fuel filter replacement intervals

must not exceed 20,000 Miles (40 233 km).
NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change inter-

vals exceed 8,000 miles (12 875 km) or 6 months, if

regular operation occurs with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends.

Under no circumstances should fuel filter intervals ex-

ceed 20,000 miles (40 233 km), if regular operation occurs

with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends. Failure to comply with

these Oil Change and fuel filter requirements for vehicles

operating on biodiesel blends up to B20 may result in

premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the

New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The engine may suffer

severe damage if operated with concentrations of bio-

diesel higher than 20%.
