INTRODUCTION
Chrysler Corporation has compiled recommended
lubrication and maintenance schedules and procedures
to help reduce premature wear or failure over a broad
range of operating conditions. When selecting the
proper maintenance schedule, the climate and operat-
ing conditions must be considered. A vehicle subjected
to severe usage requires service more frequently than a
vehicle used for general transportation.
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation rec-
ommends that only Mopar
t brand parts, lubricants
and chemicals be used. Mopar
t provides the best
engineered products for servicing Chrysler Corpora-
tion vehicles.
SEVERE SERVICE
If a vehicle is operated under any of the following
conditions, it is considered severe service.
• Extremely dusty areas.
• 50% or more of vehicle operation in 32°C (90°F) or
higher temperatures.
• Prolonged idling (such as, vehicle operation in stop
and go traffic).
• Frequent short running periods. Not allowing en-
gine to warm to operating temperatures.
• Police or taxi usage.
FUEL USAGE
All Chrysler Corporation engines require the use of
unleaded fuel to reduce exhaust emissions. See Engine
section of this group for Fuel Recommendations.
CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Only lubricants that are endorsed by the following
organization should be used to service a Chrysler
Corporation vehicle.
• Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
• American Petroleum Institute (API)
• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
ENGINE OIL
SAE GRADE RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
• SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.
• SAE 5W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.
API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION.
• SG service engine oil is a high quality crankcase
lubricant designed for use in all naturally aspirated
engines.
• SG/CD service engine oil is a high quality crankcase
lubricant designed for use in most naturally aspirated
and turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines.
GEAR LUBRICANTS
SAE ratings also apply to multiple grade gear lubri-
cants. In addition, API classification defines the lubri-
cants usage.

LUBRICANTS AND GREASES
Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage by
the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI sym-
bol on the label.
At the bottom NLGI symbol is the usage and quality
identification letters. Wheel bearing lubricant is iden-
tified by the letter ‘‘G’’. Chassis lubricant is identified
by the latter ‘‘L’’. The letter following the usage letter
indicates the quality of the lubricant. The following
symbols indicate the highest quality.
PARTS REQUIRING NO LUBRICATION
Many components on a Chrysler Corporation vehicle
require no periodic maintenance. Some components
are sealed and permanently lubricated. Rubber bush-
ings can deteriorate or limit damping ability if lubri-
cated. The following list of components require no
lubrication:
• Air Pump
• Alternator Bushings
• Drive Belts
• Drive Belt Idler/Tensioner Pulley
• Front Wheel Bearings
• Rubber Bushings
• Starter Bearings/Bushings
• Suspension Strut Bearings
• Throttle Control Cable
• Throttle Linkage
• Water Pump Bearings
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
WARNING: REVIEW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND
WARNINGS
IN
GROUP
8A,
BATTERY/STARTING/CHARGING
SYSTEMS
DIAG-
NOSTICS.
DO NOT JUMP START A FROZEN BATTERY, PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
DO NOT JUMP START WHEN BATTERY INDICATOR
DOT IS YELLOW OR BRIGHT COLOR.
DO NOT ALLOW JUMPER CABLE CLAMPS TO
TOUCH EACH OTHER WHEN CONNECTED TO A
BOOSTER SOURCE.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME NEAR BATTERY.
REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY WORN ON HANDS
OR WRISTS TO AVOID INJURY BY ACCIDENTAL
ARCHING OF BATTERY CURRENT.
WARNING: WHEN USING A HIGH OUTPUT BOOST-
ING DEVICE, DO NOT ALLOW DISABLED VEHICLE’S
BATTERY TO EXCEED 16 VOLTS. PERSONAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN RE-
SULT.
CAUTION: When using another vehicle as a booster,
do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical systems can
be damaged on either vehicle.
TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:
(1) Raise hood on disabled vehicle and visually in-
spect engine compartment for:
• Battery cable clamp condition, clean if necessary.
• Frozen battery.
• Yellow or bright color test indicator, if equipped.
• Low battery fluid level.
• Alternator drive belt condition and tension.
• Fuel fumes or leakage, correct if necessary.
CAUTION: If the cause of starting problem on dis-
abled vehicle is severe, damage to booster vehicle
charging system can result.
(2) When using another vehicle as a booster source,
turn off all accessories, place gear selector in park or
neutral, set park brake or equivalent and operate
engine at 1200 rpm.
(3) On disabled vehicle, place gear selector in park or
neutral and set park brake or equivalent. Turn OFF all
accessories (Keyless Entry and Ultralight systems
must be turned OFF manually).
(4) Connect jumper cables to booster battery. RED
clamp to positive terminal (+). BLACK clamp to nega-
tive terminal (-). DO NOT allow clamps at opposite end
of cables to touch, electrical arc will result (Fig. 1).
Review all warnings in this procedure.
(5) On disabled vehicle, connect RED jumper cable
clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK jumper
cable clamp to engine ground as close to the ground
cable attaching point as possible (Fig. 1).
