Oil Life Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 sec-
onds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the

5. Press and release theDOWNarrow button to select
“Yes”, then press and release the Right arrow button to
select reset of the Oil Life.
6. Press and release the Uparrow button to exit the EVIC
screen.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
Fuel Filter Life Reset
The cluster will display the “Fuel System Service Re-
quired – See Dealer” or “Service Fuel Filter” message
when the fuel filter maintenance life is less than 5%. To
verify if this is a fuel filter change event, go to the “Fuel
Filter Life” screen in the “Vehicle Info” menu. When this
message appears, dealers should replace both frame
mounted and engine mounted fuel filters.
NOTE: Use the steering wheel EVIC controls for the
following procedure(s) Vehicles Equipped With Passive Entry
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, press the ENGINE
START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)
2. Press and release the DOWNarrow button to scroll

EVIC Amber Telltales
This area will show reconfigurable amber caution tell-
tales. These telltales include:
Water In Fuel Indicator Light
The “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will illu-
minate when there is water detected in the fuel
filters. If this light remains on, DO NOT start
the vehicle before you drain the water from
the fuel filters to prevent engine damage. Refer to “Main-
tenance Procedures/Draining Fuel/Water Separator
Filters” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further infor-

Biodiesel Fuel Requirements
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM speci-
fication D975 is recommended for use with your diesel
engine. If frequent operation with Biodiesel blends are
greater than 5% but not greater than 20% (B6–B20) is
desired, the maintenance schedule is subject to shorter
intervals.
The oil and filter change along with fuel filter replace-
ment is subject to shorter intervals when operating your
engine on biodiesel greater than 5%. Do not use biodiesel
greater than 20%.
For regular use of biodiesel blends greater than 5% but
not greater than 20% (B6–B20) it is important that you
understand and comply with these requirements. Refer
to the “Maintenance Chart” in the “Maintenance Sched-
ules” section for further direction.
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements for
vehicles operating on biodiesel blends greater than
5% but not greater than 20% (B6–B20) will result in
premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources
typically derived from animal fat, rapeseed oil (Rapeseed
Methyl Ester (RME) base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl
Ester (SME or SOME) base).
Biodiesel fuel has inherent limitations which require that
you understand and adhere to the following require-
ments if you use blends of Biodiesel greater than 5% but
not greater than 20% (B6–B20). There are no unique
restrictions for the use of B5.
46 STARTING AND OPERATING

Fuel Water Separation — Must Use Mopar
Approved Fuel Filter Elements
Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water
accelerates microbial growth. Your Mopar filtration sys-
tem is designed to provide adequate fuel water separa-
tion capabilities.
Fuel In Oil Dilution — Must Adhere To Required
Oil Change Interval
Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with
the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%.
To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must
be maintained with in the suggested schedule. The
regular use of biofuels greater than 5% and less than 20%
require intervals shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles
and must not exceed the suggested schedule. When
routinely operating on biofuels greater that 5% and less
than 20%, oil and filter replacement intervals must not
exceed 8,000 Miles or 6 months, which ever comes first.
Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals
The use of biofuels require intervals shorter than the
outlined 30,000 miles (48 280 km) and must not exceed
the suggested schedule. When operating on biofuels
greater that 5% and less than 20%, fuel filter replacement
intervals must not exceed 20,000 Miles (40 233 km).
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals exceed 8,000 miles (12 875 km) or 6 months, if regular
operation occurs with greater than 5% and less than 20%
biodiesel blends. Under no circumstances should fuel filter
intervals exceed 20,000 miles (40 233 km), if regular
operation occurs with greater than 5% and less than 20%
biodiesel blends. Failure to comply with these Oil Change
and fuel filter requirements for vehicles operating on
biodiesel blends up to B20 may result in premature engine
wear. Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. The engine may suffer severe damage if
operated with concentrations of biodiesel higher than 20%.

Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Add oil
only when the level on the dipstick is below the “MIN”
mark. The total capacity from the MIN mark to the MAX
mark is 1.7 qts (1.6L).
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause
oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage
your engine.
NOTE: It is possible for your oil level to be slightly
higher than a previous check. This would be due to diesel
fuel that may temporarily be in the crankcase due to
operation of the diesel particulate filter regeneration
strategy. This fuel will evaporate out under normal
operation. Never operate the engine with oil level below the “MIN”
mark or above the upper “MAX” mark.
Change Engine Oil
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade)
CAUTION!
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced technol-
ogy Diesel Engine and an emission device designed
to limit Diesel Particulate Emissions from being
released into the atmosphere. 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.
