Maintenance
If you operate the vehicle using E-85 fuel, follow “Main-
tenance Schedule B.” Refer to Section 8 of this manual.
CAUTION!
Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your
vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and
may affect driveability.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS — DIESEL
Diesel fuels are available from most reputable fuel mar-
keters. We encourage you to use only the best quality fuel
with a calculated Cetane Index of 50 or higher. In
addition, the manufacturer recommends using diesel fuel
with a sulfur content ofless than 15 ppm.See your
authorized dealer or distributor for further information
regarding fuels available in your area.In areas where diesel fuel is below the recommended
quality levels (high levels of sulfur and water) it is critical
to monitor the fuel filter for contamination and the
“Water-In-Fuel” message in the EVIC (Refer to Section 4).
Failure to properly service the fuel system for these items
can significantly reduce engine life and lead to major
engine repair. More frequent service intervals of the fuel
filter/water separator unit may be required under these
conditions than those shown in “Maintenance Schedule
A or B.” See your authorized dealer or distributor for
specific information.

For information on engine oil filler cap location, see the
Engine Compartment illustration in this section.
Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certi-
fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num-
ber should not be used.
Engine Oil Viscosity (3.0L Diesel Engine)
CAUTION!
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced technol-
ogy Diesel Engine and an emission device designed
to limit Diesel Particulate Emissions from being
released into the atmosphere. The durability of your
engine and life expectancy of this diesel particulate
filter emission device is highly dependent on the use
of the correct engine oil.
In order to protect your engine and emission system, use
only SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Engine Oil that meets Chrysler
Material Standard MS-11106 or Mercedes Benz MB 229.51
and ACEA C3 qualified engine oils.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom-
mended oil quality requirements are met, and the recom-
mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes
are followed.
Materials Added to Engine Oils
The manufacturerstrongly recommendsagainst the ad-
dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to
engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and it’s
performance may be impaired by supplemental addi-
tives.
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,

Spark Plugs
Spark plugs must fire properly to assure engine perfor-
mance and emission control. New spark plugs should be
installed at the specified mileage. The entire set should be
replaced if there is any malfunction due to a faulty spark
plug. Refer to the “Vehicle Emission Control Informa-
tion” label in the engine compartment for spark plug
information.
Spark Plug Wires
The spark plug wires should be kept clean and properly
connected. Terminals should be fully seated. Cracked,
damaged, or faulty wires should be replaced.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter
Under normal driving conditions, replace the air filter at
the intervals shown on “Maintenance Schedule A.” If,
however, you drive the vehicle frequently under dusty orsevere conditions, the filter element should be inspected
periodically and replaced if necessary at the intervals
shown on “Maintenance Schedule B.”
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc) can
provide a measure of protection in the case of engine
backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc) unless such removal is necessary
for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is
near the engine compartment before starting the
vehicle with the air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc) removed. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
