Engine Oil Selection — 6.2L And 6.4L
Engine
For best performance and maximum protection
under all types of operating conditions, the
manufacturer only recommends full synthetic
engine oils that meet the American Petroleum
Institute (API) categories of SN.
The manufacturer recommends the use of a full
synthetic SAE 0W-40 engine oil or equivalent
meeting the requirements of FCA Material
Standard MS-12633.
NOTE:
Hemi engines (6.2L/6.4L) at times can tick right
after startup and then quiet down after approx -
imately 30 seconds. This is normal and will not
harm the engine. This characteristic can be
caused by short drive cycles. For example, if the
vehicle is started then shut off after driving a
short distance. Upon restarting, you may experi -
ence a ticking sound. Other causes could be if
the vehicle is unused for an extended period of
time, incorrect oil, extended oil changes or
extended idling. If the engine continues to tick
or if the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes
on, see the nearest authorized dealer.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine
Oil Identification Symbol
This symbol means that the oil has
been certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API). The
manufacturer only recommends API
Certified engine oils.
This symbol certifies 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30,
5W-30 and 10W-30 engine oils.
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) — 3.6L
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:
Mopar SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to
FCA Material Standard MS-6395 such as Penn -
zoil, Shell Helix Ultra or equivalent may be used
when SAE 5W-20 engine oil meeting MS-6395
is not available.
Lubricants which do not have both the engine
oil certification mark and the correct SAE
viscosity grade number should not be used.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil
as the chemicals can damage your engine.
Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

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.

276SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
TIRES — GENERAL INFORMATION
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the
safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
Four primary areas are affected by improper tire
pressure:
Safety
Fuel Economy
Tread Wear
Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability Safety
Both underinflation and overinflation affect the
stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling
of sluggish response or over responsiveness in
the steering.
NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from side to side may
cause erratic and unpredictable steering
response.
Unequal tire pressure from side to side may
cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling
resistance resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause
abnormal wear patterns and reduced tread life,
resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Overinflation produces a
jarring and uncomfortable ride.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous.
Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping
distance. Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle. Never overload
them.WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and
can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and
can result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to
cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuckholes can cause damage that result
in tire failure.
Overinflated or underinflated tires can
affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering
problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of the
vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle
to drift to the right or left.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
