Engine Oil

Engine Oil - Diesel Engines

SAE Viscosity Grade

CAUTION: Low viscosity oils must have the proper API quality

Only use engine oils that are labeled on the container as meeting API (American Petroleum Institute) and/or DaimlerChrysler specifications MB 228.3, 228.5, 229.3 and 229.5, such as MOPAR SAE 15W-40 HD Diesel Engine Oil (e.g. MOPAR Part No. 03798231AD), or equivalent.

Do not add any materials (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and it's performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.

When topping off engine oil, only use oil of the same quality grade and SAE classification.

Always refer to the viscosity chart for the proper viscosity grade based on ambient temperature. Select oil viscosity according to the lowest air temperature expected before the next oil change.

All Temperatures 0W-30, 5W-30
All Temperatures 0W-40, 5W-40
Above -4°F (-20°C) 10W-30
Above -4°F (-20°C) 10W-40
Above 5°F (-15°C) 15W-40
Above 23°F (5°C) 20W-50

The temperature limits given for the different SAE classes should be regarded as guidelines which may be exceeded temporarily to avoid excessively frequent engine oil changes.
