GENERAL INFORMATION
E-MARK LABEL
An E-mark Label (Fig. 1) is located on the rear
shut face of the driver's door. The label contains the
following information:
²Date of Manufacture
²Month-Day-Hour (MDH)
²Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
²Country Codes
²Regulation Number
²Regulation Amendment Number
²Approval Number
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be
viewed through the windshield at the upper left cor-
ner of the instrument panel next to the left A-pillar
(Fig. 2). The VIN consists of 17 characters in a com-
bination of letters and numbers that provide specific
information about the vehicle. Refer to the VIN
Decoding Information Table to interpret VIN code.
VIN CHECK DIGIT
To protect the consumer from theft and possible
fraud the manufacturer is required to include a check
Digit at the ninth position of the VIN. The check
digit is used by the manufacturer and government
agencies to verify the authenticity of the vehicle and
official documentation. The formula to use the check
digit is not released to the general public.
BODY CODE PLATE
LOCATION AND DECODING
The Body Code Plate is located (Fig. 3) in the
engine compartment on the radiator closure panel
crossmember. There are seven lines of information on
the body code plate. Lines 4, 5, 6, and 7 are not used
to define service information. Information reads from
left to right, starting with line 3 in the center of the
plate to line 1 at the bottom of the plate.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Service and maintenance procedures for compo-
nents and systems listed in Schedule ± A or B can be
found by using the Group Tab Locator index at the
front of this manual. If it is not clear which group
contains the information needed, refer to the index at
the back of this manual.
There are two maintenance schedules that show
proper service based on the conditions that the vehi-
cle is subjected to.
Schedule ±A, lists scheduled maintenance to be
performed when the vehicle is used for general trans-
portation.
Schedule ±B, lists maintenance intervals for vehi-
cles that are operated under the conditions listed at
the beginning of the Maintenance Schedule section.
Use the schedule that best describes your driving
conditions.
Where time and mileage are listed, follow the
interval that occurs first.
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation
recommends that only Mopartbrand parts, lubri-
cants and chemicals be used. Mopar provides the
best engineered products for servicing Chrysler Cor-
poration vehicles.
INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
Chrysler Corporation uses international symbols to
identify engine compartment lubricant and fluid
inspection and fill locations (Fig. 1).
CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Only lubricants that are endorsed by the following
organization should be used to service a Chrysler
Corporation vehicle.
²Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
²American Petroleum Institute (API) (Fig. 2)
²National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
(Fig. 3)

ENGINE OIL
SAE VISCOSITY RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos-
ity engine oil. Engine oils also have multiple
viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE vis-
cosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot tempera-
ture viscosity range.
²SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.
²SAE 10W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.
API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION
The API Service Grade specifies the type of perfor-
mance the engine oil is intended to provide. The API
Service Grade specifications also apply to energy con-
serving engine oils.
Use engine oils that are API Service Certified.
5W-30 and 10W-30 MOPAR engine oils conform to
specifications.
Refer to Group 9, Engine for engine oil specifica-
tion.
GEAR LUBRICANTS
SAE ratings also apply to multiple grade gear
lubricants. In addition, API classification defines the
lubricants usage.LUBRICANTS AND GREASES
Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage
by the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI
symbol (Fig. 3) on the label. At the bottom NLGI
symbol is the usage and quality identification letters.
Wheel bearing lubricant is identified by the letter
ªGº. Chassis lubricant is identified by the latter ªLº.
The letter following the usage letter indicates the
quality of the lubricant. The following symbols indi-
cate the highest quality.
