INTRODUCTION
Jeeptlubrication and maintenance is divided into
required and recommended service tasks.
The recommendations and procedures listed in this
group are intended for JeeptDealer Service Personnel.
Because conditions vary, it is necessary to schedule
service tasks according to a time interval as well as a
distance interval.
It is the owner's responsibility to have vehicle ser-
viced. Owner is to pay for labor and necessary parts
that are not covered by the warranty.
Additional lubrication and maintenance informa-
tion is listed in the Owner's Manual, which is in-
cluded with the vehicle.
SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
When a vehicle is subjected to a severe driving con-
dition, time between recommended maintenance
should be decreased.
Refer to Engine Maintenance for the engine oil and
filter maintenance interval when involved with a se-
vere driving condition.
A severe driving condition is defined as either:
²frequent short trip driving less than 24 km (15
miles);
²frequent driving in a dusty environment;
²trailer towing;
²extensive engine idling;
²sustained high-speed operation;
²desert operation;
²frequent starting and stopping;²cold-climate operation;
²off-road driving; or
²commercial service.
To service a Jeeptvehicle for a severe driving con-
dition, change all the lubricating fluids and lubricate:
²the body components,
²all the driveline coupling joints, and
²the steering linkage
more often than for a normal driving condition to
prevent excessive wear of the components.
DUSTY AREAS
Driving in an area with dust-filled air increases the
risk of particles entering the engine and crankcase.
With this type of severe driving condition, attention
should be given to the engine and crankcase compo-
nents.
OFF-ROAD (4WD) OPERATION
After completion of off-road (4WD) operation, the
underside of the vehicle should be thoroughly in-
spected. Examine threaded fasteners for looseness.
HARSH SURFACE ENVIRONMENTS
After vehicle operation in a harsh surface environ-
ment, the following components should be inspected
and cleaned as soon as possible:
²brake drums,
²brake linings,
²front wheel bearings (2WD vehicles only), and
²axle coupling joints.
This will prevent wear and/or unpredictable brake
action.

ROUTINE SERVICE
The following routine vehicle service is highly rec-
ommended on a monthly basis.
TIRESÐInspect the tires for unusual wear/damage
and determine if the inflation pressure is acceptable
for the vehicle load.
BATTERYÐInspect and clean the terminals.
Tighten the terminals, if necessary.
FLUIDSÐDetermine if the coolant, brake fluid,
power steering, automatic transmission, and clutch
fluid level are acceptable. Add fluid, if necessary.
LIGHTS/ELECTRICALÐTest all the electrically
operated systems in the vehicle for proper operation.
It is also recommended that the engine oil level
and the windshield washer fluid level be deter-
mined (and corrected) during each fuel fill-up.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
All Jeeptengines require the use of unleaded gas-
oline. In addition, the fuel must have a minimum oc-
tane rating of 87.
CAUTION: UNLEADED FUEL ONLY must be used in
vehicles equipped with a catalyst emission control
system. All vehicles have reminders printed on the
instrument panel (Fig. 1) and on the fuel filler door
(Fig. 2). Vehicles also have fuel filler tubes that are
designed to accept only the small-diameter un-
leaded gasoline nozzles. It is illegal to defeat the
design of an unleaded fuel filler tube.
CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Lubricating fluids and chassis component lubri-
cants are classified and graded according to stan-
dards recommended by the:
²Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE),²American Petroleum Institute (API), and
²National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).
ENGINE OIL
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify viscosity
of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscosity en-
gine oil. Engine oils also have multiple viscosities
(Fig. 3).
The viscosity grade of an oil is an indicator of its
thickness or flow capability. The lower the number,
the better the flow. The second viscosity grade num-
ber (without a W suffix) is the warm/hot-temperature
viscosity. The viscosity increases with engine temper-
ature. With a single viscosity grade, the oil viscosity
is valid only for one narrow temperature range.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
After first starting a new engine, allow it to idle
and warm up for at least 15 seconds before shifting
the transmission into a drive gear.
Drive the vehicle at:
²varying speeds less than 80 km/h (50 mph) for the
first 160 km (100 miles), and
²speeds less than 88 km/h (55 mph) for the first 800
km (500 miles).
Avoid driving at full-throttle for extended periods
of time. Also, avoid fast acceleration and sudden
stops.
A special break-in engine oil is not required. The
original oil installed in a vehicle is a quality lubri-
cant. There is no requirement to have the oil
changed or the oil filter replaced until the first
scheduled maintenance interval.
The engine oil, coolant and all the other engine re-
lated fluid levels should be determined on a regular
basis.
ENGINE OIL
SPECIFICATIONS
API SERVICE GRADE
For maximum engine protection during all driving
conditions, install an engine oil that conforms to API
Service Grade. MOPAR Engine Oil conforms to all of
these API Service Grades.
SAE VISCOSITY
SAE designated multi-viscosity grade engine oil is
to protect engines. This type of engine oil can usually
be installed and remain in the engine until the next
scheduled oil change. Select the engine oil viscosity
according to the lowest ambient air temperature ex-
pected before the next scheduled oil change (Fig.1).
Low viscosity engine oil allows easier engine starting
during cold weather. SAE 5W-30 viscosity engine oil
is recommended when the ambient air temperatures
consistently decrease to below 10ÉF (-12ÉC).ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
In selecting the correct API grade and SAE grade,
anENERGY CONSERVINGtype engine oil is also
recommended.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Standard engine oil notations have been adopted
for selection of engine oil. The notations are located
on side of plastic bottles and on the top of engine oil
cans (Fig. 2).
²The top, outer field contains theAPI Service
Gradenotation for the engine oil.

CAUTION: Do not overfill the engine crankcase with
oil. This will cause oil aeration and result in a de-
crease in the engine oil pressure.
(9) Start the engine and observe the oil pressure
gauge or warning lamp. If the pressure does not in-
crease or the warning lamp does not go out, stop the
engine and determine the cause of the problem.
USED ENGINE OIL DISPOSAL
Care should be exercised when disposing used en-
gine oil after it has been drained from a vehicle en-
gine. Refer to the WARNING listed above.
COOLING SYSTEM
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN RE-
MOVING THE RADIATOR CAP IF THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR
THE DRIVE BELT(S), PULLEYS OR FAN BLADE. DO
NOT STAND IN A DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN
BLADE.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The engine coolant level should be determined at
least once a month and more often during periods of
hot weather. Add coolant as necessary.
COOLANT LEVEL
With the engine at normal operating temperature,
observe the coolant level in thecoolant recovery bot-
tle. The coolant level must be at least above the ADD
mark and preferably at the FULL mark. Add coolant
to the coolant recovery bottleonly, if necessary.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Check coolant level, and inspect condition of cool-
ing system hoses and clamps after each 12 000-km
(7,500-miles).
Initially, coolant must be drained and cooling sys-
tem flushed and filled after the first 36 months of op-
eration. Thereafter, after each 24-months interval of
vehicle operation.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The engine cooling system should be inspected for
proper operation and for component failure at least
every 12 months.
WARNING: IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RECENTLY
OPERATED, USE EXTREME CARE WHEN REMOV-
ING THE RADIATOR CAP TO AVOID SCALDING
WITH HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT.
For additional information, refer to Section 7, Cool-
ing System.COOLANT FREEZE PROTECTION
Jeeptcooling systems contain a 50/50 mixture of
anti-freeze and distilled water coolant. This is the
recommended coolant mixture for most ambient tem-
peratures. The factory-installed anti-freeze is formu-
lated to prevent corrosion on all cooling system metal
surfaces.
The degree of coolant freeze protection should be
tested every 12 months. If the coolant is contami-
nated orrustyin appearance, cooling system should
be drained and filled with a 50/50 mixture of fresh
coolant. For additional information, refer to Group
7ÐCooling System.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Engine performance and fuel economy can be af-
fected by a restricted air cleaner filter. The filter
should be inspected on a regular basis for excessive
air restriction.
If the filter element is saturated with oil, replace
the filter element.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Engine air cleaner filter must be replaced after
each 48 000-km (30,000-miles).
If a vehicle is frequently operated in dusty
areas, the air cleaner filter should be inspected
often.
FILTER ELEMENT SERVICE/REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove the air cleaner cover from the body/
housing (Fig. 9).
(2) Remove the air cleaner filter element from the
body/housing.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references are made to par-
ticular vehicle models by alphabetical designation or
by the particular vehicle nameplate. A chart showing
a breakdown of the alphabetical designations is in-
cluded in the Introduction section at the beginning of
this manual.
TheFuel Systemconsists of: the fuel tank, an
electric (fuel tank mounted) fuel pump and a fuel fil-
ter. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses, vacuum
hoses, throttle body and fuel injectors.
TheFuel Delivery Systemconsists of: the electric
fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel tubes/lines/hoses, fuel rail,
fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
AFuel Return Systemis used on all vehicles.
The system consists of: the fuel tubes/lines/hoses that
route fuel back to the fuel tank.
TheFuel Tank Assemblyconsists of: the fuel
tank, filler tube, fuel gauge sending unit/electric fuel
pump module, a pressure relief/rollover valve and a
pressure-vacuum filler cap.
Also to be considered part of the fuel system is the
Evaporation Control System.This is designed to
reduce the emission of fuel vapors into the atmo-
sphere. The description and function of the Evapora-
tive Control System is found in Group 25, Emission
Control Systems.
FUEL USAGE STATEMENT
Your vehicle was designed to meet all emission reg-
ulations and provide excellent fuel economy using
high quality unleaded gasoline. Only use unleaded
gasolines having a minimum posted octane of 87.
If your vehicle develops occasional light spark
knock (ping) at low engine speeds, this is not harm-
ful. However,continued heavy knock at high
speeds can cause damage and should be re-
ported to your dealer immediately.Engine dam-age as a result of heavy knock operation may not be
covered by the new vehicle warranty.
In addition to using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating,those that contain deter-
gents, corrosion and stability additives are rec-
ommended.Using gasolines that have these
additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce
emissions and maintain vehicle performance. Gener-
ally, premium unleaded gasolines contain more addi-
tive than regular unleaded gasolines.
Poor quality gasolinecan cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you experi-
ence these problems, use another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
materials that contain oxygen such as alcohol, MTBE
and ETBE. The type and amount of oxygenate used
in the blend is important. The following are generally
used in gasoline blends:
ETHANOL
Ethanol (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol) properly blended,
is used as a mixture of 10 percent ethanol and 90
percent gasoline.Gasoline with ethanol may be
used in your vehicle.
METHANOL
CAUTION: DO NOT USE GASOLINES CONTAINING
METHANOL.Use of methanol/gasoline blends may re-
sult in starting and driveability problems. In addition,
damage may be done to critical fuel system compo-
nents.
Methanol (Methyl or Wood Alcohol) is used in a va-
riety of concentrations blended with unleaded gaso-
JFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 1

line. You may encounter fuels containing 3 percent
or more methanol along with other alcohols called co-
solvents.
Problems that are the result of using methanol/gas-
oline blends are not the responsibility of Chrysler
Corporation. They may not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
MTBE/ETBE
Gasoline and MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
blends are a mixture of unleaded gasoline and up to
15 percent MTBE. Gasoline and ETBE (Ethyl Ter-
tiary Butyl Ether) are blends of gasoline and up to
17 percent ETBE. Gasoline blended with MTBE or
ETBE may be used in your vehicle.CLEAN AIR GASOLINE
Many gasolines are now being blended that con-
tribute to cleaner air, especially in those areas of the
country where air pollution levels are high. These
new blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and some
are referred to asReformulated Gasoline.
In areas of the country where carbon monoxide lev-
els are high, gasolines are being treated with oxy-
genated materials such as MTBE, ETBE and
ethanol.
Chrysler Corporation supports these efforts toward
cleaner air and recommends that you use these gas-
olines as they become available.

FUEL PUMP MODULE
The fuel pump module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank. The fuel pump module contains the follow-
ing components:
²Electric fuel pump
²Fuel pump reservoir
²In-tank fuel filter
²Fuel gauge sending unit
²Fuel supply and return tube connections
The fuel pump used on all vehicles is a gear/rotor
type pump. It is driven by a permanent magnet 12
volt electric motor that is immersed in the fuel tank.
The electrical pump is integral with the fuel sender
unit. The pump/sender assembly is installed inside
the fuel tank.
The fuel pump has a check valve at the outlet end
that consists of a ball held against a seat by force ap-
plied from a spring. When the pump is operating,
fuel pressure overcomes spring pressure and forces
the ball off its seat, allowing fuel to flow. When the
pump is not operating, spring pressure forces the ball
back against the seat preventing fuel backflow
through the pump.
Fuel system pressure is maintained at approxi-
mately 214 kPa (31 psi). This is when the pump is
operating and vacuum is supplied to the fuel pres-
sure regulator. If vacuum is not supplied to the pres-
sure regulator, fuel pressure will be approximately
55-69 kPa (8-10 psi) higher. This may be due to a
broken or clogged vacuum line. When the fuel pumpis not operating, system fuel pressure of 131-269 kPa
(19-39 psi) is maintained. This is done by the fuel
pump outlet check valve and the vacuum assisted
fuel pressure regulator.
REMOVALÐXJ MODELS
The fuel pump/gauge sender unit assembly can be
removed from the fuel tank without removing the
tank from the vehicle.
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE,
THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RE-
LEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL PRESSURE RE-
LEASE PROCEDURE IN THIS GROUP.

control the fuel pump circuit.
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER CON-
STANT FUEL PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE
OFF) OF APPROXIMATELY 131-269 KPA (19-39
PSI). THIS PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED BE-
FORE SERVICING ANY FUEL SUPPLY OR FUEL RE-
TURN SYSTEM COMPONENT.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove fuel tank filler neck cap to release fuel
tank pressure.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FUEL TO SPILL ONTO
THE ENGINE INTAKE OR EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.
PLACE SHOP TOWELS UNDER AND AROUND THE
PRESSURE PORT TO ABSORB FUEL WHEN THE
PRESSURE IS RELEASED FROM THE FUEL RAIL.
WARNING: WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION
WHEN RELEASING FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE.
(3) Remove protective cap from pressure test port
on the fuel rail (Fig. 7).
(4) Obtain the fuel pressure gauge/hose assembly
from fuel pressure gauge tool set 5069. Remove the
gauge from the hose.
(5) Place one end of hose (gauge end) into an ap-
proved gasoline container.
(6) Place a shop towel under the test port.
(7) To release fuel pressure, screw the other end of
hose onto the fuel pressure test port.(8) After fuel pressure has been released, remove
the hose from the test port.
(9) Install protective cap to fuel test port.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
The fuel system is equipped with a vacuum as-
sisted fuel pressure regulator (Fig. 8). With engine at
idle speed, system fuel pressure should be approxi-
mately 214 kPa (31 psi) with the vacuum line con-
nected to the regulator. With the vacuum line
disconnected from the regulator, fuel pressure should
be approximately 269 kPa (39 psi). This is 55-69 kPa
(8-10 psi) higher.
(1) Remove the protective cap at the fuel rail (Fig.
7). Connect the 0-414 kPa (0-60 psi) fuel pressure
gauge (from Gauge Set 5069) to test port pressure fit-
ting on fuel rail (Fig. 9).
(2) Note pressure gauge reading. Fuel pressure
should be approximately 214 kPa (31 psi) at idle.

FUEL PUMP CAPACITY TEST
Before performing this test, verify fuel pump pres-
sure by performing the previous tests.
(1) Release the fuel system pressure from fuel sys-
tem. Refer to the previous Fuel Pressure Release
Procedure in this group.
(2) Disconnect the fuel supply line at fuel rail near
pressure regulator. For procedures, refer to Fuel
Tubes/Lines/Hoses and Clamps. Also refer to Quick-
Connect Fittings. These can be found in the Fuel De-
livery System section of this group.
(3) Connect Fuel Line Pressure Test Adapter Tool
number 6631 (3/8 in.) into the disconnected fuel sup-
ply line. Insert the other end of tool 6631 into an ap-
proved gasoline container.
(4) To activate the fuel pump and pressurize the
system, obtain the DRB scan tool. Refer to the appro-
priate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service
manual for DRB operation.
A good fuel pump will deliver at least 1 liter of fuel
per minute.
FUEL PRESSURE LEAK DOWN TEST
ENGINE OFF
Abnormally long periods of cranking to restart a
hot engine that has been shut down for a short pe-
riod of time may be caused by:
²Fuel pressure bleeding past the fuel pressure reg-
ulator.
²Fuel pressure bleeding past the check valve in the
outlet end of the fuel tank mounted fuel pump.
(1) Remove protective cap at fuel rail test port
(Fig. 11). With the engine off, connect an accurate
0-689 kPa (0-100 psi) fuel gauge to the pressure test
port fitting on the fuel rail. The fitting on the pres-
sure tester must be in good condition and free of any
leaks before performing this test.(2) Start the vehicle and let engine idle. Check
fuel pressure reading on gauge. Fuel pressure should
be within specifications. Refer to the previous Fuel
System Pressure Tests.
(3) Shut engine off. Observe and record fuel pres-
sure reading on gauge. Leave fuel pressure gauge
connected. Allow engine to set for 30 minutes and
then compare the fuel pressure reading on the gauge
with the reading taken when engine was shut down.
A pressure drop of up to 138 kPa (20 psi) within 30
minutes is within specifications.
(4) If the fuel pressure drop is within specifica-
tions, the fuel pump outlet check valve and fuel pres-
sure regulator are both operating normally.
(5) If fuel pressure drop is greater than 138 kPa
(20 psi), it must be determined if this drop is being
caused by (in-tank mounted) fuel pump outlet check
valve or fuel pressure regulator. Proceed to next step.
(6) Release the fuel system pressure from fuel sys-
tem. Refer to the previous Fuel Pressure Release
Procedure in this group.
