CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine
oil as the chemicals can damage your en-
gine. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Engine Oil Selection – ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil
Categories for Service Fill Oils, we recommend
you use 5W-20 engine oils that meet the re-
quirements of ACEA C3.
Engine Oil Viscosity – 3.6L Engine
SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all
operating temperatures. This engine oil im-
proves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel
economy.
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 the “Engine Compartment” illustration in this
section. NOTE:
SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to Fiat
9.55535-S1 or Fiat 9.55535-S3 may be used
when SAE 5W-20 engine oil meeting MS-
6395 is not available.
Engine Oil Viscosity – 5.7L Engine
SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all
operating temperatures. This engine oil im-
proves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel
economy.
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 the “Engine Compartment” illustration in this
section.
NOTE:
SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to Fiat
9.55535-S1 or Fiat 9.55535-S3 may be used
when SAE 5W-20 engine oil meeting MS-
6395 is not available.Engine Oil – Diesel Engine
Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection
under all types of operating conditions, the
manufacturer recommends you use SAE 5W-30
Synthetic Low Ash Engine Oil meeting the re-
quirements of Chrysler Material Standard
MS-11106 and approved ACEA C3.
Engine Oil Viscosity
CAUTION!
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
technology Diesel Engine and an emission
device designed to limit Diesel Particulate
Emissions from being released into the at-
mosphere. The durability of your engine and
life expectancy of this diesel particulate filter
emission device is highly dependent on the
use of the correct engine oil.

SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Low Ash Engine Oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures.
This engine oil improves low temperature start-
ing and vehicle fuel economy.
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.
Synthetic Engine OilsYou may use synthetic engine oils provided the
recommended oil quality requirements are met,
and the recommended maintenance intervals
for oil and filter changes are followed.
Materials Added To Engine OilThe 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.
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And
Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used
engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used
oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can
present a problem to the environment. Contact
your authorized dealer, service station or gov-
ernmental agency for advice on how and where
used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in
your area.
Engine Oil FilterThe engine oil filter should be replaced with a
new filter at every engine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
This manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow
type disposable oil filter. Use a filter of this type
for replacement. The quality of replacement
filters varies considerably. Only high quality
filters should be used to assure most efficient
service. MOPAR® engine oil filters are high
quality oil filters and are recommended.
Engine Air Cleaner FilterRefer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the
proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses,
etc.) can provide a measure of protection in
the case of engine backfire. Do not remove
the air induction system (air cleaner, hoses,
etc.) unless such removal is necessary for
repair or maintenance. Make sure that no
one is near the engine compartment before
starting the vehicle with the air induction
system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) removed.
Failure to do so can result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection
The quality of replacement engine air cleaner
filters varies considerably. Only high quality
filters should be used to assure most efficient
service. MOPAR® engine air cleaner filters are
a high quality filter and are recommended.

WARNING!
•Use only refrigerants and compressor lu-
bricants approved by the manufacturer for
your air conditioning system. Some unap-
proved refrigerants are flammable and can
explode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
• The air conditioning system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid risk
of personal injury or damage to the sys-
tem, adding refrigerant or any repair re-
quiring lines to be disconnected should be
done by an experienced repairman.
NOTE:
Use only manufacturer approved A/C Sys-
tem Sealers, Stop Leak Products, Seal Con-
ditioners, Compressor Oil, and Refrigerants. Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling
R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydro-
fluorocarbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the
Environmental Protection Agency and is an
ozone-saving product. However, the manufac-
turer recommends that air conditioning service
be performed by authorized dealer or other
service facilities using recovery and recycling
equipment.
NOTE:
Use only manufacturer approved A/C sys-
tem sealers, stop leak products, seal condi-
tioners, compressor oil, and refrigerants.
A/C Air Filter
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the
proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Do not remove the A/C air filter while the
blower is operating or personal injury may
result.The A/C air filter is located in the fresh air inlet
behind the glove box. Perform the following
procedure to replace the filter:
1. Open the glove compartment and remove all
contents.
2. Push in on the sides of the glove compart-
ment and lower the door.
3. Pivot the glove compartment downward.
4. Disengage the two retaining tabs that secure
the filter cover to the HVAC housing, and re-
move the cover.
A/C Air Filter Replacement

5. Remove the A/C air filter by pulling it straight
out of the housing.
6. Install the A/C air filter with the arrow on the
filter pointing toward the floor. When installing
the filter cover, make sure the retaining tabs
fully engage the cover.
CAUTION!
The A/C air filter is identified with an arrow to
indicate airflow direction through the filter.
Failure to properly install the filter will result
in the need to replace it more often.
7. Rotate the glove compartment door back
into position.
Body LubricationLocks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points
and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically
with a lithium based grease, such as MOPAR®
Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy opera-
tion and to protect against rust and wear. Prior
to the application of any lubricant, the parts
concerned should be wiped clean to remove
dust and grit; after lubricating excess oil and
grease should be removed. Particular attention
should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to ensure proper function. When perform-
ing other underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch should be
cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as MOPAR® Lock Cylinder Lubricant di-
rectly into the lock cylinder.Windshield Wiper BladesClean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber
out of contact with petroleum products such as
engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies de-
pending on geographical area and fre-
quency of use. Poor performance of blades
may be present with chattering, marks, wa-
ter lines or wet spots. If any of these condi-
tions are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace as necessary.
