Engine Oil Viscosity — 5.7L Engine
MOPAR® SAE 5W-20 engine oil or equivalent such as

Pennzoil® or Shell Helix® is recommended for all oper-

ating temperatures. This engine oil improves low tem-

perature starting and vehicle fuel economy.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine

oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil

filler cap location, refer to “Engine Compartment” in “Main-

taining Your Vehicle” for further information.
NOTE:

Vehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine must use

SAE 5W-20 oil. Failure to do so may result in improper

operation of the Fuel Saver Technology. Refer to “Fuel

Saver Technology – If Equipped” in “Starting and Oper-

ating” for further information.
Lubricants that do not have both, the engine oil certifi-

cation mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number

should not be used.

Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addi-

tion of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the

engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and its

performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom-

mended oil quality requirements are met, and the recom-

mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes

are followed.
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and

oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters,

indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the

environment. Contact your authorized dealer, service

station or governmental agency for advice on how and

where used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in

your area.
