clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK
jumper cable clamp to engine ground as close to the
ground cable attaching point as possible (Fig. 1).
CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled
vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will over-
heat and could fail.
(6) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to
at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to
start engine. If engine does not start within 15 sec-
onds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool
(15 min.), before cranking again.
DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:
² Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine
ground on disabled vehicle.
² When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect BLACK
cable clamp from battery negative terminal. Discon-
nect RED cable clamp from battery positive terminal.
² Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive
terminal on disabled vehicle.
HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Refer to Owner's Manual provided with vehicle for
proper emergency jacking procedures.
WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING
POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHI-
CLE. WHEN THE ENGINE OR REAR SUSPENSION IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE CENTER OF
GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME HOISTING
CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR

FREQUENCY OF ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
CHANGES
ENGINE OIL
Road conditions as well as your kind of driving af-
fect the interval at which your oil should be changed.
Check the following to determine if any apply to you:
² Frequent short trip driving less than 8 kilometers
(5 miles)
² Frequent driving in dusty conditions
² Frequent trailer towing
² Extensive idling (such as vehicle operation in stop
and go traffic)
² More than 50% of your driving is at sustained
high speeds during hot weather, above 32ÉC (90ÉF) If any of these apply to you then change your en-
gine oil every 4 800 kilometers (3,000 miles) or 3
months, whichever comes first. If none of these apply to you then change your oil
every 12 000 kilometers (7,500 miles) or 6 months,
whichever comes first. If none of these apply and the vehicle is in com-
mercial type service such as, Police, Taxi or Limou-
sine and principally used for highway driving of 40
kilometers (25 miles) or more between stations, the
engine oil should be changed every 8 000 kilometers
(5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first.
FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES
Flexible fuel is corrosive and contributes to engine
oil contamination. When flexible fuel is being used,
the engine oil should be changed every 8 000 kilome-
ters (5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first.
OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new
filter at every second oil change.
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: NEW OR USED ENGINE OIL CAN BE IR-
RITATING TO THE SKIN. AVOID PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN CONTACT WITH ENGINE OIL.
CONTAMINANTS IN USED ENGINE OIL, CAUSED
BY INTERNAL COMBUSTION, CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. THOROUGHLY WASH EX-
POSED SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER. DO NOT WASH SKIN WITH GASOLINE, DIESEL
FUEL, THINNER, OR SOLVENTS, HEALTH PROB-
LEMS CAN RESULT. DO NOT POLLUTE, DISPOSE OF USED ENGINE
OIL PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR
GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COL-
LECTION CENTER IN YOUR AREA.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: Wide open throttle operation in low
gears, before engine break-in period is complete,
can damage engine.
On a Chrysler Corporation vehicle an extended
break-in period is not required. Driving speeds of not
over 80-90 km/h (50-55 mph) for the first 100 km (60
miles) is recommended. Hard acceleration and high
engine rpm in lower gears should be avoided.
SELECTING ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Do not use non-detergent or straight
mineral oil when adding or changing crankcase lu-
bricant. Engine or Turbocharger failure can result.
The factory fill engine oil is a high quality, energy
conserving, crankcase lubricant. The Recommended
SAE Viscosity Grades chart defines the viscosity
grades that must be used based on temperature in
the region where vehicle is operated and optional
equipment.
NON-FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES Chrysler Corporation recommends that Mopar mo-
tor oil, or equivalent, be used when adding or chang-
ing crankcase lubricant. The API symbol (Fig. 1) on
the container indicates the viscosity grade, quality
and fuel economy ratings of the lubricant it contains.
Use ENERGY CONSERVING II motor oil with API
SERVICE SG or SG/CD classification.

inside of the hood in the engine compartment and
Group 25, Emission Control Systems for proper ser-
vice procedures.
BATTERY
Inspect battery tray, hold down and terminal con-
nections when other under hood service is performed.
For proper diagnostic procedures refer to Group 8A,
Battery/Starting/Charging System Diagnostics. For
service and cleaning procedures refer to Group 8B,
Battery/Starter Service.
RUBBER AND PLASTIC COMPONENT INSPECTION
CAUTION: Plastic hoses or wire harness covers will
melt or deform when exposed to heat from exhaust
system or engine manifolds. Position plastic or rubber components away from
moving parts in engine compartment or under vehi-
cle, or damage will result. Do not allow rubber engine mounts or other com-
ponents to become oil contaminated, repair cause
of oil contamination and clean area. All rubber and plastic components should be in-
spected when engine compartment or under vehicle
service is performed. When evidence of deterioration
exists, replacement is required. To reduce deteriora-
tion of rubber components, Chrysler Corporation rec-
ommends Mopar Foamy Engine Degreaser or
equivalent be used to clean engine compartment of
oil and road grime.
EXHAUST SYSTEM ISOLATOR AND HANGER
The exhaust system should be inspected when un-
der vehicle service is performed. The exhaust system
should not make contact with under body, brake ca-
bles, brake/fuel lines, fuel tank or suspension compo-
nents. Slight cracking in rubber isolator or hanger is
acceptable. Severely cracked or broken rubber compo-
nents must be replaced. For proper service proce-
dures see Group 11, Exhaust System and Intake
Manifold.
Ä LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE 0 - 15
² Air pressure leaks down below 621 kPa (90 psi),
before it remains steady.
² Output pressure builds up to less than 758 kPa
(110 psi) when it stabilizes. If the compressor is allowed to run during this test
until it reaches its maximum output pressure of 1516
kPa (220 psi). The solenoid exhaust valve will act as a pressure relief valve. The resulting leak-down, af-
ter the compressor is shut off, will indicate a false
leak.
