DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
DESCRIPTION
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation
recommends that only Mopart brand parts, lubri-
cants and chemicals be used. Mopar provides the
best engineered products for servicing Chrysler Cor-
poration vehicles.
CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
DESCRIPTION
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by
the following organization should be used to service a
Chrysler Corporation vehicle.
• Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
• American Petroleum Institute (API) (Fig. 1)
• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
(Fig. 2)
SAE VISCOSITY RATING
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos-
ity engine oil. Engine oils also have multiple
viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE vis-
cosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot tempera-
ture viscosity range.
• SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.
• SAE 10W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.
Chrysler Corporation only recommends multiple
grade engine oils.
API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION
This symbol (Fig. 1) on the front of an oil container
means that the oil has been certified by the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute (API) to meet all the lubri-
cation requirements specified by Chrysler
Corporation.
Refer to Group 9, Engine for gasoline engine oil
specification.
