( 1) - Approximate quantity listed.
( 2) - Use an API energy conserving engine oil that is certified for
gasoline engines on all engines except 3.3L flex-fuel models.
On 3.3L flex-fuel models, use Mopar Flex-Fuel 5W-30 engine oil
or an equivalent that meets Chrysler Standard MS-9214. Proper
engine oil MUST BE used to prevent engine damage. The 3.3L
flex-fuel model may be referred to as Flex-Fuel Vehicle (FFV)
model and is used in all vehicles except California emission
vehicles. Flex-fuel model may be also referred to as an E85
application and may be identified by label attached to inside of
gasoline filler door.
( 3) - Quantity includes heater and coolant recovery tank. Add 2 qts.
(1.9L) if equipped with rear heater.
( 4) - Add this amount of fluid. Start engine and shift transaxle
through all gears and back to Park. Add additional fluid to
bring fluid level to 1/8" below the ADD mark on dipstick.
Recheck fluid level with transaxle at normal operating
temperature. Adjust fluid level so fluid level is within the
HOT range dipstick.
( 5) - An overrunning clutch is bolted on front of rear differential,
between torque tube for drive shaft and rear differential.
Overrunning clutch contains a separate reservoir from rear
differential. Ensure fluids are checked at appropriate
component, as different types of fluids are used. Fluid capacity
is not available from manufacturer.
( 6) - Use only Mopar power steering fluid. DO NOT use automatic
transmission fluid.
( 7) - Capacity is not available from manufacturer. Fill unit until
fluid level is even with bottom of filler plug hole.

( 1) - Different interval may be required for normal and severe
service. Severe service is described as use of ethanol fuel,
frequent short trip operation of less than 5 miles, long periods
of engine idling, trailer towing, police, taxi, local delivery
service, or operating in dusty or excessively hot conditions.
( 2) - Monthly interval is not available from manufacturer.
( 3) - Inspect air filter every 15,000 miles and replace as necessary.
Replace at 30,000 miles unless previously replaced during
inspection.
( 4) - Inspect at scheduled interval and replace as necessary. Inspect
every 30,000 miles after first scheduled interval if not
previously replaced at scheduled interval listed.
( 5) - Replace coolant at 45,000 miles or 36 months whichever occurs
first. Replace coolant at 36 months regardless of mileage. After
first coolant change, replace coolant every 24 months or 30,000
miles thereafter.
( 6) - Band adjustment required on 3-speed automatic transaxle.
( 7) - Normal service interval is not available from manufacturer.
Manufacturer lists service schedule only under severe service
conditions.
