Engine oil not designated by the Chrysler or Cummins®

Material Standards and API CJ-4 should not be used,

as engine and exhaust system durability may be com-

promised. 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 “Maintaining Your Vehicle”

for further information.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils if the recommended oil

quality requirements are met and the recommended

maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are

followed.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad-

dition 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 addi-

tives.
