366 STARTING AND OPERATING 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). Engine Block Heater (if equipped) Block heater usage is beneficial for E-85 startability when the ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C). 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 the manufacturer's engines. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395. NOTE: Your engine oil filler cap also describes the correct engine oil to use.
