STARTING AND OPERATING 385 For best results, a refueling pattern that avoids alternating between E-85 and unleaded gasoline is recommended. When you do switch fuel types, it is recommended that: • you do not add less than 5 gal (19 L) when refueling • you drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard starting and/or significant deterioration in driveability during warm up. NOTE: • Use seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel (ASTM D5798). With non-seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel, you may experience hard starting and rough idle following start-up, even if the above recommendations are followed, especially when the ambient temperature is below 32°F (0°C). • Some additives used in regular gasoline are not fully compatible with E-85 and may form deposits in your engine. To eliminate driveability issues that may be caused by these deposits, a supplemental gasoline additive, such as MOPAR Injector Cleanup or Techron may be used. Selection Of Engine Oil For Flexible Fuel Vehicles E-85 and Gasoline Vehicles FFV vehicles operated on E-85 require specially formulated engine oils. These special requirements are included in MOPAR engine oils, and in equivalent oils meeting Chrysler Specification MS-6395. The manufacturer only recommends engine oils that are API Certified and meet the requirements of Material Standard MS-6395. MS-6395 contains additional requirements, developed during extensive fleet testing, to provide additional protection to Chrysler LLC engines. Use MOPAR or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395. 5
