INTRODUCTIONYour vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. This system will alert you when it is
time to change your engine oil by displaying the words
“Oil Change Required” on your Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC). The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil
change interval may fluctuate depending on your per-
sonal driving style. Driving styles such as frequent stop
and go type driving can increase the frequency of the
engine oil change. This is the result of more frequent
regeneration of the exhaust aftertreatment system, which
can decrease the life of the engine oil. Failure to change
the engine oil per the maintenance schedule can result in
internal engine damage.
Under no circumstances should the oil change interval
exceed 12,000 km or six months whichever occurs first.
For information on resetting the Oil Change Indicator
message, refer to “Oil Change Required If
Equipped,” under “System Status (EVIC Displays)”
in the “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” Section of the Owner’s Manual.The performance of all scheduled service work is
required to maintain your vehicle in good operating
condition. Chrysler Canada Inc. reserves the right to
deny warranty coverage if the vehicle has not been
properly maintained. While we do not insist that such
work be performed by factory authorized retailers,
we strongly recommend that an authorized Chrysler,
Jeepor Dodge Retailer perform this work.
AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
•Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a
fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil
level while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add
oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or
MIN mark.
•Check the windshield washer solvent and add if
required.
ONCE A MONTH
•Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or
damage.
•Inspect the batteries, clean and tighten the termi-
nals as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake
master cylinder, and transmission and transfer
case (if equipped) add as needed.
•Drain water from the fuel filter.•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE
•
Change the engine oil filter.•Inspect the exhaust system.•Inspect the brake hoses and lines.•Check the automatic transmission fluid level.•Check the manual transmission fluid level.•Check the engine coolant level, hoses, and clamps.•Lubricate outer tie rod ends.
Inspection and service should also be performed any-
time a malfunction is observed or suspected. Retain all
receipts.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS —
INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF COMPONENT
DETERIORATION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
MAINTENANCEScheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the
warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs required due to improper maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled maintenance and keep receipts
or other documents. Use only recommended MoparLubricants and genuine MoparParts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals,
please contact your retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL THAT OCCURS FIRST.
