182 STARTING AND OPERATING This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). We only recommend API Certified engine oils that meet the requirements of DaimlerChrysler's Material Standard MS-9214. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-9214. The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and it's performance may be impaired by supplemental additives. • Engine Oil Selection for Operating on E-85 If you operate the vehicle on E-85 fuel, either full or part-time, use only Mopar Flexible Fuel 5W-30 engine oil (P/N 4318086) or an equivalent that meets the Manufacturer's Standard MS-9214. Equivalent commercial Flexible Fuel engine oils may be labeled as Flexible Fuel (FFV) or Alternate Fuel (AFV). These engine oils may be satisfactory if they meet the Manufacturer's Standard. The 5W-30 engine oil installed at the factory meets the manufacturer's requirements for Flexible Fuel engine oil. SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in Flexible Fuel engines. CAUTION! If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used when using E-85, engine wear may be increased significantly. This may void your warranty. • Engine Oil Selection for Operating on Gasoline If you operate the vehicle on regular unleaded gasoline ONLY, use Mopar oil or an equivalent that meets certified API (American Petroleum Institute) Quality.
