254SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) — 5.7L
Engine
Mopar SAE 5W-20 engine oil approved to FCA
Material Standard MS-6395 such as Pennzoil,
Shell Helix Ultra or equivalent is recommended
for all operating temperatures. This engine oil
improves low temperature starting and vehicle
fuel economy.
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”
illustration in this section.
NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine must use
SAE 5W-20 oil. Failure to do so may result in
improper operation of the Fuel Saver Tech -
nology. Refer to “Fuel Saver Technology – If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
Lubricants which do not have both the engine
oil certification mark and the correct SAE
viscosity grade number should not be used.
Engine Oil Viscosity — 6.2L And 6.4L
Engine
Use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 engine or
equivalent Mopar oil meeting the FCA Material
Standard MS-12633 for use in 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 “Engine Compartment” in this
section for further information.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the
recommended oil quality requirements are met,
and the recommended 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.
Shaker Hood — If Equipped
Shaker Hood Oil Filler
For vehicles equipped with a “Shaker Hood”,
the upper scoop will need to be removed so that
oil can be properly added to the engine. To do this, you will need follow the procedure
below:
1. Remove the four nuts with the Shaker tool
located in glove compartment.
2. Lift off the upper scoop.
NOTE:
Be sure to clean off all debris around or inside
for the Shaker assembly.
3. Locate the oil fill cover in base assembly to expose the oil fill cap.
4. Remove oil fill cap to add oil.
5. Re-install Shaker assembly.
Shaker Hood Air Filter Cleaning
1. Remove the air filter from the intake and set the filter clamp a side.
2. Measure the length of the filter media.
3. Fill a bucket with warm clean water to the depth matching the filter media
measurement and add a mild household
detergent or air filter cleaning solution.
4. Without allowing the solution to flow back into the inside of the air filter, submerge the
filter media in to the water and let it soak for
ten minutes.
