While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the

limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in.

However, wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can

be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil, transmission fluid, and axle lubricant

installed at the factory is high-quality and energy-

conserving. Oil, fluid, and lubricant changes should be

consistent with anticipated climate and conditions under

which vehicle operations will occur. For the recom-

mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Mainte-

nance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil
in the engine or damage may result.

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its

first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This

should be considered a normal part of the break-in and

not interpreted as an indication of difficulty. Please check

your oil level with the engine oil indicator often during

the break in period. Add oil as required.
For vehicles equipped with the 6.4L use the following
engine break-in recommendations:

Despite modern technology and World Class manufac-

turing methods, the moving parts of the vehicle must still

wear in with each other. This wearing in occurs mainly

during the first 500 miles (805 km) and continues through

the first oil change interval.
