Fuel Selection

Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your vehicle. Federal law requires

that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur

maximum) and prohibits the use of Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur

maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions control system.

For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975 Grade S15 will

provide good performance. We recommend you use a blend of up to 5% biodiesel, meeting

ASTM specification D-975 with your diesel engine.This vehicle is compatible with biodiesel

blends greater than 5% but no greater than 20% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification

D-7467 provided the shortened maintenance intervals are followed as directed.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid MOPAR® Diesel Exhaust Fluid (API Certified) (DEF) or equivalent that has been API Certified to

the ISO 22241 standard. Use of fluids not API Certified to ISO 22241 may result in system damage.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below

20°F or -7°C), or is required to operate at colder-than-

normal conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized

No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50%

No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection from

fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filter.
