NOTE
The transmission oil does not normally need
to be changed during the service life of the
vehicle. However, it may be necessary to
replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven
in areas of sustained temperature extremes
(hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long
distances, for prolonged driving in moun-
tainous areas, or if the vehicle is often driven
short distances in temperatures under 40 °F
(5 °C).

277 Oil specifications
Engine oil must meet the minimum
ACEA A5/B5. Lower quality oils may not offer
the same fuel economy, engine performance,
or engine protection.
Oil additives must not be used.
Oil viscosityIncorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life
under normal use. SAE 5W-30 will provide
good fuel economy and engine protection. See
the viscosity chart.
Viscosity chart
Extreme engine operationSAE 0W-30 oil meeting ACEA A5/B5 require-
ments is recommended for driving in areas with
sustained low temperatures.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
The engine employs a turbo-compressor to
force air into the engine intake manifold and a
charge air cooler to cool the compressed inletair. The resulting increase in air flow raises
pressure in the intake manifold and increases
engine power over that developed by the nor-
mally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler(which resembles a radiator) is located
between the turbo-compressor and intake
manifold.

Three-way catalytic converter

281 Three-way catalytic converter –
general information
•Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain
engine malfunctions, particularly involving
the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition
systems, may cause unusually high three-
way catalytic converter temperatures. Do
not continue to operate your vehicle if you
detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of
power or other unusual operating condi-
tions, such as engine overheating or back-
firing. A properly tuned engine will help
avoid malfunctions that could damage the
three-way catalytic converter.
•Do not park your vehicle over combustible
materials, such as grass or leaves, which
can come into contact with the hot exhaust
system and cause such materials to ignite
under certain wind and weather condi-
tions.
•Excessive starter cranking (in excess of
one minute), or an intermittently firing or
flooded engine can cause three-way cata-
lytic converter or exhaust system over-
heating.
•Remember that tampering or unauthorized
modifications to the engine, the Electronic
Control Module, or the vehicle may be ille-
gal and can cause three-way catalytic con-
verter or exhaust system overheating. This
includes: altering fuel injection settings or
components, altering emission systemcomponents or location, or removing com-
ponents, and/the repeated use of leaded
fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with
three-way catalytic converters.
