Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Engine
Coolant
We recommend you use Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/
150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology).
Engine Oil
We recommend you use 5W-40
synthetic
engine oil such as Mopar or
Shell Rotella that meets FCA Material Standard MS-10902 and the
API CJ-4 engine oil category is required.
Engine
Oil Filter
We recommend you use Mopar Engine Oil Filters.
Fuel Filters
We recommend you use Mopar Fuel Filter. Must meet 3 micron
rating.
Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturers filtration
and water separating requirements can severely impact fuel system life
and reliability.
Fuel Selection
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your
vehicle. Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle with
Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and
prohibits the use of Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur
maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions control system.
For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM
specification D-975 Grade S15 will provide good performance. We
recommend you use a blend of up to 5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM
specification D-975 with your diesel engine.
This vehicle is compatible
with biodiesel blends greater than 5% but no greater than 20% biodiesel
meeting ASTM specification D-7467 provided the shortened maintenance
intervals are followed as directed.
Diesel
Exhaust Fluid
Mopar Diesel Exhaust Fluid (API Certified) (DEF) or equivalent that
has been API Certified to the ISO 22241 standard. Use of fluids not
API Certified to ISO 22241 may result in system damage.
NOTE:
If climatized or diesel Number 1 ULSD fuel is not available, and you are operating
below (20°F/-6°C), in sustained arctic conditions, Mopar Premium Diesel Fuel
Treatment (or equivalent) is recommended to avoid gelling.
