DESCRIPTION
DaimlerChrysler Corporation uses international
symbols to identify engine compartment lubricant
and fluid inspection and fill locations (Fig. 1).
FLUID TYPES
DESCRIPTION
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: NEW OR USED ENGINE OIL CAN BE
IRRITATING TO THE SKIN. AVOID PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN CONTACT WITH ENGINE OIL.
CONTAMINANTS IN USED ENGINE OIL, CAUSED BY
INTERNAL COMBUSTION, CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO
YOUR HEALTH. THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED
SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER. DO NOT WASH
SKIN WITH GASOLINE, DIESEL FUEL, THINNER, OR
SOLVENTS, HEALTH PROBLEMS CAN RESULT. DO
NOT POLLUTE, DISPOSE OF USED ENGINE OIL
PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR GOVERN-
MENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COLLECTION
CENTER IN YOUR AREA.
When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corpo-
ration recommends that only Mopar
t brand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar
t provides
the
best
engineered
products
for
servicing
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles.
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by
the following organization should be used.
• Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
• American Petroleum Institute (API)
• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)

Association) (ACEA)
API CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE SYMBOL
Use an engine oil that is API Certified (Fig. 2) and
Licensed to display the certification mark. MOPAR
t
provides engine oils that meet or exceed, Material
Standard MS-6395 requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
SAE 5W-20 and SAE 5W-30 engine oils are rec-
ommended
for
all
operating
temperatures.
These engine oils are designed to improve low
temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy.
Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the pre-
ferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehi-
cle (Fig. 3). SAE viscosity grades are used to specify
the correct viscosity oil for an engine. Use only Multi-
Viscosity oils such as SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30. These
are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which
indicates the cold (5W) to hot (20, 30) temperature
performance range of the oil.
ACEA CATEGORIES
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil
Categories for service fill oils, use engine oils that
meet the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or
A3/B3.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
The Engine Oil Certification Mark was developed
and trademarked by the API to refer customers to
those engine oils preferred by the automobile manu-
facturers. This symbol means that the oil has been
certified and licensed by the American Petroleum
Institute (API). This certification mark will only be
found on the front of the oil containers (Fig. 4). Those
oils that do not display the “Mark” on the front of the
container should not be used.
DiamlerChrysler only recommends API Certified
engine oils that meet the requirements of Material
Standard MS-6395. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil
meeting the specification MS-6395.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted
as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to
use such a product, use only those oils that are cer-
tified by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to
display the “Certification Mark” and show SAE vis-
cosity grade recommended for each vehicle. Follow
the service schedule that describes your driving type.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES/SUPPLEMENTS
The manufacturer does not recommend the addi-
tion of any engine oil additives/supplements to the
specified engine oil. Engine oil additives/supplements
should not be used to enhance engine oil perfor-
mance. Engine oil additives/supplements should not
be used to extend engine oil change intervals. No
additive is known to be safe for engine durability and
can degrade emission components. Additives can con-
tain undesirable materials that harm the long term
durability of engines and emission systems by:
• Increasing the level of Phosphorus and Sulfur in
the engine oil. The API Certified Engine Oils control
the Phosphorus and Sulfur contents of the oil to lev-
els that reduce the contamination effect on the vehi-
cles emission control system.
• Altering the viscosity characteristics of the
engine oil so that it no longer meets the require-
ments of the specified viscosity grade.
• Creating potential for an undesirable additive
compatibility interaction in the engine crankcase.

FLUID TYPES (Continued)
The engine oils contain a performance additive sys-
tem carefully developed to optimize the oils perfor-
mance in the engine. The addition of supplements
may cause the oil to thicken prematurely, cause
excessive deposit build-up and potentially shorten
engine life.
ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWAL-
LOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMIT-
ING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF
GLYCOL BASE COOLANT PROPERLY, CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR
LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR
AREA. DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN
THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS
PERFORMED, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene Glycol based coolants
is not recommended, as they provide less freeze
protection and less boiling protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in
the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and
engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the
radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the
heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection.
Mopar
t
Antifreeze/Coolant,
5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equiva-
lent ethylene glycol base coolant with hybrid organic
corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic
Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant
offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when
mixed with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled
water to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it
loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush,
and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solu-
tion.
The green coolant MUST NOT BE MIXED with
the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing cool-
ant the complete system flush must be performed
before using the replacement coolant.
CAUTION:
Mopar
T
Antifreeze/Coolant,
5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Doing so
will reduce the corrosion protection and may result
in premature water pump seal failure. If non-HOAT
coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an
emergency, it should be replaced with the specified
coolant as soon as possible.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules in the
Owner’s Manual for the recommended maintenance
(fluid/filter change) intervals for this transaxle.
NOTE: All transaxles have a common transmission
and differential sump. Filling the transaxle accom-
modates the differential as well.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Mopar
t ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-
Type 9602) is required in the 4XTE automatic tran-
saxles. Substitute fluids can induce torque converter
clutch shudder.
Mopar
t ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-
Type 9602) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed
red so it can be identified from other fluids used in
the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid
condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin
to look darker in color and may eventually become
brown. This is normal. A dark brown/black fluid
accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration
in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or
transmission component failure.
G288 and T350 Manual transaxles require the use
of Mopar
t ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various “special” additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been sup-
ported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additives must not be used. The use of trans-
mission “sealers” should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.
