SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE319
Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the
addition 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
A full-flow type disposable oil filter should be used for
replacement. The quality of replacement filters varies
considerably. We recommend using a Mopar® Engine Oil
Filter. If a Mopar® Engine Oil Filter is unavailable only use
filters that meet or exceed SAE/USCAR-36 Filter
Performance Requirements.

NOTE:The engine may run rough until the air is forced from all
the fuel lines.
NOTE:
 Use of biodiesel mixture in excess of 20% can nega -
tively impact the fuel filter's ability to separate water
from the fuel, resulting in high pressure fuel system
corrosion or damage.
 In addition, commercially available fuel additives are
not necessary for the proper operation of your diesel
engine.
 For extreme cold conditions, "Mopar® Premium Diesel
Fuel Treatment" is recommended to assist with cold
starting.
INTERVENTION REGENERATION
S
TRATEGY — MESSAGE PROCESS FLOW
This engine meets all required diesel engine emissions
standards. To achieve these emissions standards, your
vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and
exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly integrated
into your vehicle and managed by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The PCM manages engine combustion to
allow the exhaust system’s catalyst to trap and burn
Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input or
interaction on your part.
Additionally, your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your vehicle or
engine.
Refer to Instrument Cluster Display for further information
Úpage 108.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by
the name of its active component, UREA—is a key
component of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent
emission regulations. DEF is a liquid reducing agent that
WARNING!
Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the
engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel
pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious
injury or death.
CAUTION!
The starter motor will engage for approximately
30 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes between
cranking intervals.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent.
They can be unstable under certain conditions and be
hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use
of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system.WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over
materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass
or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system.
Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your
exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS – DIESEL ENGINE
Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle with
Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur
maximum) and prohibits the use of Low Sulfur Highway
Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to
the emissions control system.
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in
your vehicle. For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel
meeting ASTM (formerly known as the American Society
for Testing and Materials) specification D-975 Grade S15
will provide good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to
extreme cold (below 20°F or -7°C), or is required to
operate at colder-than-normal conditions for prolonged
periods, use climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No.
2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide
better protection from fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the
fuel filters.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To prevent
fuel system trouble, drain the accumulated water from the
fuel/water separator using the fuel/water separator drain
provided on the fuel filter housing. If you buy good quality
fuel and follow the cold weather advice above, fuel
conditioners should not be required in your vehicle. If
available in your area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel
may offer improved cold-starting and warm-up
performance.
DIESEL FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
This diesel engine has been developed to take advantage
of the high energy content and generally lower cost No. 2
Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel or No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur
climatized diesel fuels.
NOTE:
If you accidentally fill the fuel tank with gasoline on your
diesel vehicle, do not start the engine. Damage to the
engine and fuel system could occur. Please call an
authorized dealer for service.
 A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM spec -
ification D-975 may be used with your diesel engine
without any adjustments to regular service schedules.
 Commercially available fuel additives are not neces -
sary for the proper operation of your diesel engine.
 No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should only be used
where extended arctic conditions (-10°F or -23°C)
exist.
BIODIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM
specification D975 is recommended for use with your
diesel engine. If frequent operation with Biodiesel blends
that are between 6% and 20% (B6–B20) is desired, the
maintenance schedule is subject to shorter intervals. The oil and filter change along with fuel filter replacement
is subject to shorter intervals when operating your engine
on biodiesel greater than 5%. Do not use biodiesel greater
than 20%.
For regular use of biodiesel blends between 6% and 20%
(B6–B20) it is important that you understand and comply
with these requirements
Úpage 311.
Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources
typically derived from animal fat, rapeseed oil (Rapeseed
Methyl Ester (RME) base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl Ester
(SME or SOME) base).
Biodiesel fuel has inherent limitations which require that
you understand and adhere to the following requirements
if you use blends of Biodiesel between 6% and 20%
(B6–B20). There are no unique restrictions for the use of
B5.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent.
They can be unstable under certain conditions and
hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on, DO NOT
START engine before you drain the water from the fuel
filter(s) to avoid engine damage
Úpage 321.
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements for
vehicles operating on biodiesel blends between 6% and
20% (B6–B20) will result in premature engine wear.
Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
Use of blends greater than 20% is not approved. Use of
blends greater than 20% can result in engine damage.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

372TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Biodiesel Fuel Properties — Low Ambient
Temperatures
Biodiesel fuel may gel or solidify at low ambient
temperatures, which may pose problems for both storage
and operation. Precautions can be necessary at low
ambient temperatures, such as storing the fuel in a
heated building or a heated storage tank, or using cold
temperature additives.
Fuel Quality — Must Comply With ASTM
Standards
The quality of Biodiesel fuel may vary widely. Only fuel
produced by a BQ9000 supplier to the following
specifications may be blended to meet Biodiesel blend
B6 – B20 fuel meeting ASTM specification D-7467:
Petrodiesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975
and Biodiesel fuel (B100) meeting ASTM specification
D-6751
Fuel Oxidation Stability — Must Use Fuel
Within Six Months Of Manufacture
Biodiesel fuel has poor oxidation stability which can result
in long term storage problems. Fuel produced to approved
ASTM standards, if stored properly, provides for protection
against fuel oxidation for up to six months.
Fuel Water Separation — Must Use
Mopar® Approved Fuel Filter Elements
Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water
accelerates microbial growth. Your Mopar® filtration
system is designed to provide adequate fuel water
separation capabilities.
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
maintained within the suggested schedule. The regular
use of biodiesel between 6% and 20% requires intervals
shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles (16,000 km) and
must not exceed the suggested schedule. When routinely
operating on biodiesel between 6% and 20%, oil and filter
replacement intervals must not exceed 8,000 miles
(12,875 km) or six months, whichever comes first.
Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals
The use of biodiesel requires more frequent fuel filter
change intervals. When operating on biodiesel between
6% and 20%, fuel filter replacement intervals should be
every second oil change, and must not exceed
16,000 miles (25,750 km).
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 8,000 miles (12,875 km) or 6 months, if regular
operation occurs with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends. Under no
circumstances should fuel filter replacement intervals
exceed every second oil change and must not exceed
16,000 miles (25,750 km), if regular operation occurs
with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends. Failure to comply with
these Oil Change and fuel filter 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. The engine may suffer
severe damage if operated with concentrations of
biodiesel higher than 20%.
CAUTION!
In the event that the vehicle is filled with biodiesel and
not used for more than a month, the fuel should either
be used up by driving (up to quarter tank) and filled with
standard diesel blends with less than 5% that is
normally available. This will help prevent the fuel filter
clogging and potential damage to the fuel injection
system due to degraded biodiesel, which is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
