INTRODUCTION
Chrysler Corporation has compiled recommended lubrication and maintenance schedules and procedures to help reduce premature wear or failure over a broad range of operating conditions. When selecting the proper maintenance schedule, the climate and operating conditions must be considered. A vehicle subjected to severe usage requires service more frequently than a vehicle used for general transportation.
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation recommends that only Mopart brand parts, lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopart provides the best engineered products for servicing Chrysler Corporation vehicles.
SEVERE SERVICE
If a vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, it is considered severe service.
²Extremely dusty areas.
²50% or more of vehicle operation in 32°C (90°F) or higher temperatures.
²Prolonged idling ( such as, vehicle operation in stop and go traffic).
²Frequent short running periods. Not allowing engine to warm to operating temperatures.
²Police or taxi usage.

CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Only lubricants that are endorsed by the following organizations standards should be used to service a Chrysler Corporation vehicle.
²Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
²American Petroleum Institute (API)
²National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
ENGINE OIL
SAE GRADE RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
²SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.
²SAE 5W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.
API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION.
²SG service engine oil is a high quality crankcase lubricant designed for use in all naturally aspirated engines.
²SG/CD service engine oil is a high quality crankcase lubricant designed for use in most naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines.
GEAR LUBRICANTS
SAE ratings also apply to multiple grade gear lubricants. In addition, API classification defines the lubricants usage.
All Chrysler Corporation engines require the use of unleaded fuel to reduce exhaust emissions. Use fuel
