Engine Oil





ENGINE OIL SELECTION
For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only recommends full synthetic engine oils that are API rated as SL/CF and meet the requirements of Daimler Chrysler Material Standard MS-10725. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-10725. If you choose to operate this vehicle in a very aggressive driving style, the manufacturer recommends the use of a full synthetic engine oil, such as Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40.

Engine Oil Viscosity

All Temperatures 0W-40 (Preferred)

Above -20°F (-29°C) 5W-40

The 8.3L engine comes from the factory with Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil. A full synthetic API certified engine oil of the proper viscosity grade is recommended for refill.
