Engine Oil: Description and Operation
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: New or used engine oil can be irritating to the skin. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with engine oil. Contaminants in
used engine oil, caused by internal combustion, can be hazardous to your health. Thoroughly wash exposed skin with soap and
water. Do not wash skin with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner, or solvents, health problems can result. Do not pollute, dispose of used
engine oil properly. Contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection center in your area.
When service is required, Chrysler recommends that only Mopar(R) brand parts, lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar(R) provides the best
engineered products for servicing Chrysler vehicles.
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by the following organization should be used.
-
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
-
American Petroleum Institute (API)
-
National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
-
Association des Constructeurs Europeens d' Automobiles (European Automobile Manufacturers Association) (ACEA)
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Certified. Mopar(R) provides engine oils, meeting Material Standard MS-6395, that meet or exceed this requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
Vehicles with 5.7L engines equipped with Multiple Displacement System (MDS) must use SAE 5W-20 oil. Failure to do so may result in
improper operation of the Multiple Displacement System (MDS). Refer to Multi Displacement System under Starting and Operating for details.
Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the recommend engine oil viscosity for each vehicle. An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity of
engine oil. Use only engine oils with multiple viscosities such as 5W-20 or 5W-30. These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates
the cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range.
NOTE: For 6.1L only Use API rated SL/CF full synthetic engine oil, such as Mobile 1(R) is recommended. Use the correct SAE grade meeting
Chrysler Material Standard MS-10725.
ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that meet the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or
A3/B3.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY CONSERVING is located on the label of an engine
oil container.
