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 main -
tained to the following schedule:
Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab
— 12,500 Miles (20,000 km)*
(*unless otherwise notified with a oil service
message)
VEHICLE SPECIFCATIONS
NOTE:
A chime will sound if the vehicle speed exceeds
75 mph (120 km/h).
CAUTION!
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 12,500 miles
(20,000 km) if operation occurs with
greater than 5% biodiesel blends. Oil
change intervals should not exceed
6 months in either case. Failure to comply
with these Oil Change 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.
B20 Biodiesel capable: The engine may
suffer severe damage if operated with
concentrations of Biodiesel higher than
20%.

Engine CoolantWe recommend you use Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology).
Engine Oil In ambient temperatures above 0°F (-18°C), we recommend you use 10W-30 engine oil such as Mopar, Shell Rotella
and Shell Rimula that meets FCA Material Standard MS-10902 and the API CK-4 engine oil category is required.
Products meeting Cummins CES 20081 may also be used. The identification of these engine oils is typically located on
the back of the oil container.
In ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), we recommend you use 5W-40
synthetic engine oil such as Mopar, Shell
Rotella and Shell Rimula that meets FCA Material Standard MS-10902 and the API CK-4 engine oil category is
required.
Engine Oil Filter We recommend you use Mopar Engine Oil Filters.
Fuel Filters We recommend you use Mopar Fuel Filter. Must meet 3 micron rating (engine mounted filter). Must meet 5 micron
rating (chassis mounted filter).
Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturers filtration and water separating
requirements can severely impact fuel system life and reliability.
Crankcase Ventilation Filter We recommend you use Mopar CCV Filter.
