Engine Oil Selection for Operating on E-85

If you operate the vehicle on E-85 fuel, either full or

part-time, use only Mopar Flexible Fuel 5W-30 engine

oil (P/N 4318086) or an equivalent that meets the

Manufacturer’s Standard MS-9214. Equivalent com-

mercial Flexible Fuel engine oils may be labeled as

Flexible Fuel (FFV) or Alternate Fuel (AFV). These

engine oils may be satisfactory if they meet the Manu-

facturer’s Standard.

The 5W-30 engine oil installed at the factory meets the

manufacturer’s requirements for Flexible Fuel engine oil.

SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in Flexible Fuel

engines.

CAUTION!

If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used when using

E-85, engine wear may be increased significantly.

This may void your warranty.

Engine Oil Selection for Operating on Gasoline

If you operate the vehicle on regular unleaded gasoline

ONLY, use Moparoil or an equivalent that meets certified

API (American Petroleum Institute) Quality.

Starting

The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use

when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the

range of 0°F to 32°F (-18°C to 0°C), you may experience

an increase in the time it takes for your engine to start,

and a deterioration in drivability (sags and/or hesita-

tions) until the engine is fully warmed up.

Cruising Range

Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than

gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con-

sumption. You can expect your MPG and your driving

range to decrease by about 30% compared to gasoline

operation.
