Component  Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part 
Engine Coolant Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology)
Engine Oil - Non ACEA Categories (4.7L and 5.7L Engines) Use API Certified SAE 5W-20 engine oil, meeting the requirements of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-6395. Refer to your engine oil filler cap for correct SAE grade. SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to MB 229.31 or MB 229.51 may be used when SAE 5W-20 engine oil is not available.
Engine Oil - ACEA Categories (4.7L and 5.7L Engines) For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils meeting the requirements of ACEA C3, and approved to MB 229.31 or MB 229.51. SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to MB 229.31 or MB 229.51 may be used when SAE 5W-20 engine oil is not available.
Engine Oil (3.0L Diesel Engine) Use SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Low Ash Engine Oil, meeting the requirements of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-11106 and approved to MB 229.31 or MB 229.51 and ACEA C3.
Oil Filter (4.7 and 5.7L Gasoline Engines) Mopar® Oil Filter (P/N 05281090)
Oil Filter (3.0L Diesel Engine) Mopar® Oil Filter (P/N 05175571AA)
Spark Plugs (4.7L Engine) Upper Bank - FR8TE2 (Gap 0.040 in [1.02 mm])
Lower Bank - FR8T1332 (Gap 0.050 in [1.27 mm])
Spark Plugs (5.7L Engine) REC14MCC4 (Gap 0.043 in [1.09 mm])
Fuel Selection (4.7L Engine) 91 Octane
Fuel Selection (5.7L Engine) 91 Octane Acceptable - 95 Octane Recommended
Fuel Selection (3.0L Diesel Engine) Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your vehicle. The manufacturer requires that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions control system. For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975 Grade S15 will provide good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 20F or -7C), or is required to operate at colder-than-normal conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection from fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filters. This vehicle is fully compatible with biodiesel blends up to 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-975.
