Lubricant Selection

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.

NOTE: The presence of water in the gear lubricant will

result in corrosion and possible failure of differential

components. Operation of the vehicle in water, as may be

encountered in some off-highway types of service, will

require draining and refilling the axle to avoid damage.

Limited-Slip Differentials

This vehicle requires that 4 oz. (118 ml) MOPAR威 Limited

Slip Additive or equivalent be added to the gear lubri-

cant. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. The

MOPAR威 Limited Slip Additive or equivalent should be

added to the gear lubricant whenever a fluid change is

made.

2500/3500 Model Axles DO NOT REQUIRE any limited

slip oil additive (friction modifiers).
