LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
System is a full-flow filtration, pressure feed type.
The oil pump body is mounted to the engine block.
The pump inner rotor is driven by the crankshaft. A
windage tray, increases power by minimizing oil
windage at high engine RPM. For increased oil cool-
ing, an oil-to-coolant oil cooler is used. This cooler is
mounted inside the radiator tank.
OPERATION
Engine oil stored in the oil pan is drawn in and
discharged by a gerotor type oil pump. The oil pump
is directly coupled to the crankshaft. Oil pressure is
regulated by a relief valve. The oil is fed through an
oil filter and to the crankshaft journals from the oil
gallery in the cylinder block. This gallery also feeds
oil under pressure to the cylinder heads. Oil flows
through each cylinder heads oil passage to the rocker
shafts. Oil then feeds the camshaft journals, rocker
arms, and hydraulic lash adjusters (Fig. 100).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL LEAK
INSPECTION
Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the
engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak.
If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the
following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this
time because some solvents may cause rubber to
swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by
manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for
approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to
make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated
with a bright yellow color under a black light.
(3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine
for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area
of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified,
repair as necessary.

(4) If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at var-
ious speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and
repeat inspection.
(5) If the oil leak source is not positively
identified at this time, proceed with the air leak
detection test method as follows:
• Disconnect the fresh air hose (make-up air) at
the cylinder head cover and plug or cap the nipple on
the cover.
• Remove the PCV valve hose from the cylinder
head cover. Cap or plug the PCV valve nipple on the
cover.
• Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and reg-
ulator to the dipstick tube.
CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to
more than 20.6 kpa (3 PSI) of test pressure.
• Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5
psi maximum while applying soapy water at the sus-
pected source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable
test pressure that provides the best bubbles which
will pinpoint the leak source. If the oil leak is
detected and identified, repair per service manual
procedures.
• If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil
seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear
Seal Area Leak.
(6) If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply.
Remove the air hose, all plugs, and caps. Install the
PCV valve and fresh air hose (make-up air). Proceed
to next step.
(7) Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using
a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various
speeds approximately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the
engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.
NOTE: If oil leakage is observed at the dipstick tube
to block location; remove the tube, clean and reseal
using Mopar
T
Stud & Bearing Mount (press fit tube
applications only), and for O-ring style tubes,
remove tube and replace the O-ring seal.
INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the
source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the
engine, a more involved inspection is necessary. The
following steps should be followed to help pinpoint
the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal
area:
(1) Disconnect the battery.
(2) Raise the vehicle.
(3) Remove torque converter or clutch housing
cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil.
Use a black light to check for the oil leak. If a leak is
present in this area, remove transmission for further
inspection.
(a) Circular spray pattern generally indicates
seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
(b) Where leakage tends to run straight down,
possible causes are a porous block, oil gallery cup
plug, bedplate to cylinder block mating surfaces
and seal bore. See proper repair procedures for
these items.
(4) If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crank-
case as previously described.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
(5) If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the
crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is
detected between the crankshaft and seal while
slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the
crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on
the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches
that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft
polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is especially
machined to complement the function of the rear oil
seal.
(6) For bubbles that remain steady with shaft
rotation, no further inspection can be done until dis-
assembled.
(7) After the oil leak root cause and appropriate
corrective action have been identified, replace compo-
nent(s) as necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHECKING
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
(1) Remove the oil pressure switch. (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/
SWITCH - REMOVAL)
(2) Install oil pressure test gauge assembly, Spe-
cial Tools C-3292 with 8406 adaptor.
(3) Start engine and monitor gauge readings.
CAUTION: If oil pressure is 0 at idle, Do Not Run
engine at 3000 RPM
(4) Oil Pressure (engine at operating temperature):
Curb Idle 34.5 kPa (5 psi) minimum 3000 RPM
300–724 kPa (45–105 psi).
(5) If oil pressure is 0 at idle. Shut off engine,
check for pressure relief valve stuck open or a
clogged oil pickup screen.
(6) Install oil pressure switch after testing is com-
pleted. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL
PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH - INSTALLATION)

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
The best time to check engine oil level is after it
has sat overnight, or if the engine has been running,
allow the engine to be shut off for at least 5 minutes
before checking oil level.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level
reading (Fig. 101). Add only when the level is at or
below the ADD mark.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE OIL AND

OIL FILTER SPECIFICATION
All engines are equipped with a high quality full-
flow, disposable type oil filter. When replacing oil fil-
ter, use a Mopar
t filter or equivalent.
USED ENGINE OIL DISPOSAL
Care should be exercised when disposing used
engine oil after it has been drained from a vehicle
engine. Refer to the WARNING above.
OIL COOLER & LINES
DESCRIPTION
Depending on vehicle options, some models use an
engine oil cooler that is mounted inside the right
radiator tank. An oil cooler pressure control valve is
used to control flow to the cooler (Fig. 102).
OPERATION
Engine oil travels from the control valve through
the supply line and into the cooler. The control valve
allows engine oil flow when pressure is above
