Engine Oil
Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine
oil must be maintained at the correct level.
Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as
once a month. 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 quart (.95 liters) 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 aera-
tion or loss of oil pressure. This could dam-
age your engine.
Change Engine Oil
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for sched-
uled maintenance. Refer to “Service And War-
ranty Handbook” for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or
six months, whichever occurs first.
Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection
under all types of operating conditions, the
manufacturer only recommends full synthetic
engine oils that meet the requirements of FCA
Material Standard MS-12633.
Engine Oil Viscosity
For best performance and maximum protection
under all types of operating conditions, the
manufacturer only recommends full synthetic
engine oils that meet the American Petroleum
Institute (API) categories of SN.
The manufacturer recommends the use of Pen-
nzoil Ultra 0W-40 engine or equivalent Mopar oil
meeting the FCA Material Standard MS-
12633 for use in all operating temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recom-
mended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For
information on engine oil filler cap location, refer
to “Engine Compartment” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information.
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.
Engine Oil Change Requirements — 6.2L
Supercharged Engine (If Equipped)
We recommend having your oil changed and
vehicle serviced by your authorized dealer. You
should only perform maintenance procedures
and/or repairs for which you have the knowl-
edge and the right equipment.
Your 6.2L Supercharged engine (if equipped)
has a unique engine oil system. The system
contains a drain in the engine oil pan and the
engine oil cooler. It is necessary for the service
technician to drain both the engine oil pan and
the engine oil cooler to properly perform the
engine oil change procedure. Failure to drain
the engine oil cooler will result in overfilling your
vehicle’s engine oil system.
NOTE:
Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil, pres-
sure loss or oil foaming can result.
To access these oil drains, the vehicle needs to
be safely lifted and supported to remove the
front underbody shields (belly pan). Your service
technician will refer to the Service Manual for
proper under body shield (belly pan) removal
and installation procedures.
Your authorized dealer has the qualified service
personnel, special tools, and equipment to per-
form all service operations in an expert manner.
Service Manuals are available which include
detailed service information for your vehicle.
Refer to these Service Manuals before attempt-
ing any procedure yourself.
