• The DEF gauge may also not immediately update
after a refill if the temperature of the DEF fluid is

result in severe damage to your engine, including

Engine Coolant We recommend you use MOPAR® Antifreeze/Coolant
10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive
Technology).
Engine Oil Only use ACEA C3 5W-30 Synthetic Low Ash engine oil
meeting Chrysler material standard MS-11106 or Penn-
zoil Ultra Euro L full synthetic 5W-30 motor oil.
Engine Oil Filter 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 5
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 fol-
lowed 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.
NOTE: If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below
20°F or -7°C), or is required to operate at colder-than-
normal conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized
No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50%
No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection from
fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filters.
Chassis

Automatic Transmission We recommend you only use Mopar® ZF 8&9 Speed
ATF™ Automatic Transmission Fluid. Failure to use the
correct fluid may affect the function or performance of
your transmission.
Transfer Case – Single-Speed (Quadra-Trac I®) We recommend you use Shell Automatic Transmission 5
Fluid 3353.
Transfer Case – Two-Speed (Quadra-Trac II®) We recommend you use MOPAR® ATF+4® Automatic
Transmission Fluid.
Axle Differential (Front) We recommend you use MOPAR® GL-5 Synthetic Axle
Lubricant SAE 75W-85.
Axle Differential (Rear) – With Electronic Limited-Slip We recommend you use MOPAR® GL-5 Synthetic Axle
Differential (ELSD) Lubricant SAE 75W-85 with friction modifier additive.
Axle Differential (Rear) – Without Electronic Limited- We recommend you use MOPAR® GL-5 Synthetic Axle
Slip Differential (ELSD) Lubricant SAE 75W-85.

Brake Master Cylinder We recommend you use MOPAR® DOT 3 Brake Fluid,
SAE J1703 should be used. If DOT 3, SAE J1703 brake
fluid is not available, then DOT 4 is acceptable.
Power Steering Reservoir – 3.0L Engine We recommend you use MOPAR® Hydraulic fluid
MS-11655.

Required Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following
pages for required maintenance.
At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:

• Change oil and filter.
• Completely fill the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank.
• Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system
turns on.
• Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
• Inspect automatic transmission fluid if equipped with dipstick.
• Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
• Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
• Inspect exhaust system.
• Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
• Clean rear air suspension Springs — If Equipped.
