Fluid And Filter Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid
installed at the factory will provide satisfactory
lubrication for the life of the vehicle.
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required.
However, change the fluid and filter if the fluid
becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if
the transmission is disassembled for any rea-
son.
Rear Axle
For normal service, periodic fluid level checks
are not required. When the vehicle is serviced
for other reasons the exterior surfaces of the
axle assembly should be inspected. If gear oil
leakage is suspected inspect the fluid level.
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine Parts”
in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.
Fluid Level Check
Checking the fluid level while the vehicle is on
level ground and has been stationary for 15 min-
utes will improve the accuracy of the fluid level
reading.
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug on
the axle. The fluid level should be 1-2.5 mm
below the fill plug. Add fluid, if necessary, to
maintain the proper level. Refer to “Fluids, Lu-
bricants, And Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information.
Change Axle Fluid
Refer to the “Service And Warranty Handbook”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Appearance Care And Protection
From Corrosion
Protection Of Body And Paint From
Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary according
to geographic locations and usage. Chemicals
that make roads passable in snow and ice and
those that are sprayed on trees and road sur-
faces during other seasons are highly corrosive
to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,
which exposes your vehicle to airborne contami-
nants, road surfaces on which the vehicle is
operated, extreme hot or cold weather and other
extreme conditions will have an adverse effect
on paint, metal trim, and underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommendations
will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from
the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or re-
moval of paint and protective coatings from your
vehicle.
The most common causes are:
•
Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.
•
Stone and gravel impact.
•
Insects, tree sap and tar.
•
Salt in the air near seacoast localities.
•
Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.
Washing
•
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using Mopar Car
Wash, or a mild car wash soap, and rinse the
panels completely with clear water.
•
If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have
accumulated on your vehicle, use Mopar Su-
per Kleen Bug and Tar Remover to remove.
•
Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as
Mopar Cleaner Wax to remove road film,
stains and to protect your paint finish. Take
care never to scratch the paint.
•
Avoid using abrasive compounds and power
buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out
the paint finish.
CAUTION!
•
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and painted
surfaces.
•
Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi
(8 274 kPa) can result in damage or re-
moval of paint and decals.
Special Care
•
If you drive on salted or dusty roads, or if you
drive near the ocean, hose off the undercar-
riage at least once a month.
