Engine
Coolant
We recommend you use MOPAR Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/
150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology).
Engine Oil
We recommend you use 5W-40 synthetic engine oil such as MOPAR or
Shell Rotella that meets FCA Material Standard MS-10902 and the
API CJ-4 engine oil category is required.
Engine Oil Fil-
ter
We recommend you use MOPAR Engine Oil Filters.
Fuel Filters
We recommend you use MOPAR Fuel Filter. Must meet 3 micron rating. Using
a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturers filtration and water separating
requirements can severely impact fuel system life and reliability.
Fuel Selection
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your vehicle.
Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to
the emissions control system.
For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM specification
D-975 Grade S15 will provide good performance. We recommend you use a
blend of up to 5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM specification D-975 with your
diesel engine.
This vehicle is compatible with biodiesel blends greater than
5% but no greater than 20% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification
D-7467 provided the shortened maintenance intervals are followed as
directed.
Diesel Exhaust
Fluid
MOPAR Diesel Exhaust Fluid (API Certified) (DEF) or equivalent that
has been API Certified to the ISO 22241 standard. Use of fluids not
API Certified to ISO 22241 may result in system damage.
