SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 419
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) — 6.4L Engine
Use Mopar SAE 0W-40 engine oil approved to FCA Material
Standard MS-12633 such as Pennzoil Ultra equivalent is
recommended for all operating temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine
oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil
filler cap location, refer to the “Engine Compartment” illus-
tration in this section.
Lubricants which do not have both the engine oil certifica -
tion mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number
should not be used.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom -
mended oil quality requirements are met, and the recom -
mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are
followed.
Synthetic engine oils which do not have both the engine oil
certification mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade
number should not be used. 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 perfor -
mance 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, indiscrimi -
nately discarded, can present a problem to the environment.
Contact an authorized dealer, service station or govern -
mental 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 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.
