FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
NON-SRT
Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
that has been thoroughly developed and
tested in order to meet the requirements of
the Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use
of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the
fuel consumption and emission specifica-
tions. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine
operation and duration. If lubricants con-
forming to the specific request are not avail-able, products that meet the indicated speci-
fications can be used to top up, in this case
optimal performance of the engine is not
guaranteed.
291

Component Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Engine Coolant We recommend you use PARAFLUUPFormula OAT (Organic Additive Technology) or equivalent
meeting the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS.90032.
Engine Oil – 3.6L Engine We recommend you use SELENIA K POWER 0W-20, or equivalent, API Certified 0W-20 Engine
Oil, meeting the requirements of FCA Material Standard 9.55535-CR1 or MS-6395. Refer to
your engine oil filler cap for correct SAE grade.
Engine Oil – 5.7L Engine We recommend you use SELENIA K POWER 5W-20, or equivalent, API Certified 5W-20 Engine
Oil, meeting the requirements of FCA Material Standard 9.55535-CR1 or MS-6395. Refer to
your engine oil filler cap for correct SAE grade.
Engine Oil – 3.0L Diesel Engine We recommend you use 5W-40 synthetic engine oil such as Mopar that meets FCA Material
Standard MS-10902 or FCA 9.55535-D3 and the ACEA A3/B4 or API CJ-4/SM engine oil cat-
egory is required.
SELENIA SPORT SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil, or equivalent, that meets FCA Material Stan-
dard 9.55535-Z2 and the ACEA A3/B4 should be used when recommended oil is not available
Engine Oil Filter We recommend you use Mopar Engine Oil Filters or equivalent.
Spark Plugs We recommend you use Mopar Spark Plugs or equivalent.
Fuel Selection – 3.6L Engine Minimum 91 Octane (EN228)
Fuel Selection – 5.7L Engine Minimum 91 Octane Acceptable - 95 Octane Recommended (EN228)
Fuel Selection – 3.0L Diesel Engine 50 Cetane or higher (Less than 10 ppm Sulfur)(EN 590)
Additive For Diesel Emissions (UREA) AdBlue
®(Urea-Water Solution) (DEF) According to DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze)
other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (anti-
freeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection.
Organic Additive Technology (OAT) en-
gine coolant is different and should not
be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive
Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (anti-
freeze) or any “globally compatible”
coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine
coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into
the cooling system in an emergency, the
cooling system will need to be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT cool-
ant (conforming to MS.90032), by an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
• Do not use water alone or alcohol-based
engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do
not use additional rust inhibitors or an-
tirust products, as they may not be com-
patible with the radiator engine coolant
and may plug the radiator.
CAUTION!
• This vehicle has not been designed for
use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)
is not recommended.
• The use of products with different speci-
fications than those indicated above
could cause damage to the engine that is
not covered by the warranty.
• Use AdBlue
®only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids
may cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer com-
ply with the law.
• The distribution companies are respon-
sible for the compliance of their prod-
uct. Observe the precautions of storage
and servicing, in order to preserve the
initial qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognize any guaran-
tee in case of malfunctions and damage
caused to the vehicle due to the use of
AdBlue
®not in accordance with
regulations.

• If you are using the built-in Uconnect navi-
gation system, and you try and start a new
route using CarPlay, via voice or any other
method, a pop-up appears asking if you
would like to switch from Uconnect naviga-
tion to iPhone navigation. A pop-up also
appears, asking if you’d like to switch, if
CarPlay navigation is currently in use and
you attempt to launch a built-in Uconnect
route. Selecting “Yes” switches the naviga-
tion type to the newly used method of
navigation and a route will be planned for
the new destination. If “No” is selected the
navigation type remains unchanged.Apps
