MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance services listed in the Own-
er’s Manual must be done at the times or mileages
specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure
the best vehicle performance and reliability. More fre-
quent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in
severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and
very short trip driving. Inspection and service should
also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
An “Oil Change Required” message will be displayed in
the instrument cluster and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change
indicator message will illuminate. This means that ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle ser-
viced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).
NOTE:
•
The oil change indicator message will not monitor
the time since the last oil change. Change your vehi-
cle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil
change, even if the oil change indicator message is
NOT illuminated.
•
Change your engine oil more often if you drive your
vehicle off-road/track usage for an extended period
of time.
•
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 3,000 miles (5,000 km) or six months,
whichever comes first for the 170 engine.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil change.
CLEAN ENGINE AIR FILTER
When Do I Clean My Engine Air Filter?
•
The scheduled air filter cleaning is 30,000 miles
(48,280 km), or if in a dusty environment the engine
air filter should be checked periodically to ensure
optimal air flow.
•
Cleaning your engine air filter with the recom-
mended Mopar Performance Air Filter Service Kit
P5153376 is not required if you can still see the
wire screen on the entire air filter regardless of how
dirty it may appear. If you have not experienced a
decrease in engine performance, chances are your
air filter is fine and does not need to be cleaned.
When the screen is no longer visible some place on
the air filter, it’s time to clean your air filter.
1. Apply Mopar Air Filter Cleaner:
○
Spray your air filter with the recommended
Mopar air filter cleaner liberally and let it sit for
at least 10 minutes to loosen the dirt before
rinsing.
NOTE:
Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the filter.
2. Rinse Your Air Filter:
○
Rinse off your air filter with cool low-pressure
water applied to the clean side out in order to
flush the dirt out of the filter. Continue to rinse
the filter until all traces of cleaner are gone. It
may be necessary to repeat steps 1 and 2 if the
air filter isn’t completely clean.
3. Dry Your Air Filter:
○
After rinsing your filter, gently shake off the
excess water and only allow filter to dry natu-
rally. Do not apply oil until the air filter is com-
pletely dry.
NOTE:
Do not use forced air pressure as it may destroy the
filtering capabilities of the filter’s microfibers and
also void its warranty.
