RECOMMENDATIONS
When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corpo-
ration recommends that only Mopart brand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar provides
the best engineered products for servicing Daimler-
Chrysler Corporation vehicles.
INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation uses international
symbols to identify engine compartment lubricant
and fluid inspection and fill locations (Fig. 1).
CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by
the following organization should be used to service a
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicle.
• Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
• American Petroleum Institute (API) (Fig. 2)
• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
(Fig. 3)
ENGINE OIL
SAE VISCOSITY RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
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.
DaimlerChrysler Corporation only recommends
multiple grade engine oils.
