Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addi-
tion 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 an authorized dealer, service station
or governmental agency for advice on how and where used
oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in your area.
Engine Oil Filter
The 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 dispos-
able 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 Filter
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” in this section for the
proper maintenance intervals.
NOTE:
Be sure to follow the “Severe Duty Conditions”
maintenance interval if applicable.
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 personal 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.
T/A Air Filter Maintenance — If Equipped
Clean Engine Air Filter
The scheduled air filter cleaning interval is 30,000 miles
(48,280 km), or if in a dusty environment the engine air filter
should be checked periodically to ensure optimal air flow.
Cleaning your engine air filter with the recommended
Mopar Performance Air Filter Service Kit is not required if
you can still see any part the wire screen on the entire air
filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When any part
of the wire screen is no longer visible on the air filter, that
is an indication it is time to clean the air filter.
1. Spray the air filter with the recommended Mopar airfilter cleaner and let sit for at least 10 minutes to loosen
dirt, before rinsing.
NOTE: Never use strong detergents, high pressure, or
gasoline on air filter. 2. Rinse the air filter with cool low-pressure water applied
from the inside (clean side) out in order to flush the dirt
out of the filter. Continue to rinse the filter until all
traces of the cleaner have been removed.
NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat steps 1 and 2 if the air
filter is not completely clean.
3. After rinsing the air filter, gently shake off the excess water and allow air filter to dry naturally. Do not apply
oil until air filter is completely dry.
NOTE: Do not use forced air pressure as it may damage the
filtering capabilities of the filter ’s microfibers and also void
its warranty.
4.
Using the Mopar Performance Air Filter Service Kit, spray
oil evenly along the crown of each filter pleat holding the
nozzle about 3 inches (76mm) away from the air filter. One
spray per 2 square inches (1,290 square mm) of air filter.
With one complete coat of oil, let it wick (saturate) for
about 20 minutes, and if required touch up any light areas
on either side of the filter.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
For best possible performance, your air conditioner should
be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the
start of each warm season. This service should include
