WARNING!
• You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only service
work for which you have the knowledge
and the right equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a com-
petent mechanic.
• Failure to properly inspect and maintain
your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling
and performance. This could cause an
accident.
Severe Duty Conditions
†† Change the engine oil and engine oil filter
at every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months
if using your vehicle under any of the follow-
ing severe duty conditions:
• Stop and go driving.
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km).
• Trailer towing.• Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial
service).
• Off-road or desert operation.
Scheduled Servicing — Diesel Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
servicing.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your
vehicle. Operating conditions such as fre-
quent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or
cold ambient temperatures will influence
when the “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil
change is performed by someone other than
your authorized dealer, the message can bereset by referring to the steps described un-
der “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
Residual oil in the housing may spill from the
housing when the new filter is installed if the
residual oil is not either removed from the
housing or enough time has not elapsed to
allow the oil to drain back into the engine.
When servicing the oil filter on this engine,
carefully remove the filter and use a suction
gun to remove any residual oil left in the
housing or wait about 30 minutes for the oil
to drain back into the engine.
To help you have the best driving experience
possible, the manufacturer has identified the
specific vehicle maintenance service inter-
vals that are required to keep your vehicle
operating properly and safely.
The manufacturer recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed at your
selling dealer. The technicians at your deal-
ership know your vehicle best, and have ac-
cess to factory trained information, genuine
Mopar parts, and specially designed elec-
