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 Plan” for further information.
NOTE:
The actual interval for changing the oil and
replacing the engine oil filter depends on the
vehicle usage conditions and is signaled by the
warning light or message (if equipped) on the
instrument panel or every 12 months.
Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection
for turbocharged engines under all types of
operating conditions, the manufacturer
recommends synthetic engine oils that are
API Certified and meet the requirements of
FCA Material Standard MS-12991.
Engine Oil Viscosity — 1750 Turbo Engine
(SAE Grade)
SAE 5W-40 full synthetic engine oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures.
This engine oil improves low temperature
starting and vehicle fuel economy.
Lubricants which do not have both the engine
oil certification mark and the correct SAE
viscosity grade number should not be used.
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.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the engine compartment with a high
pressure washer is not recommended.
Precautions have been taken to safeguard all
parts and connections however, the
pressures generated by these machines is
such that complete protection against water
ingress cannot be guaranteed.
CAUTION!
Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or
perform repairs and service when neces
-
sary could result in more costly repairs,
damage to other components or negatively
impact vehicle performance. Immediately
have potential malfunctions examined by
an authorized dealer or qualified repair
center.
Your vehicle has been built with improved
fluids that protect the performance and
durability of your vehicle and also allow
extended maintenance intervals. Do not
use chemical flushes in these components
as the chemicals can damage your engine,
transmission, or air conditioning. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. If a flush is needed
because of component malfunction, use
only the specified fluid for the flushing
procedure.
CAUTION!
