The “Oil Change Required” message will display in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval.The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.

In ambient temperatures above 0°F (-18°C), we recommend you use SAE 15W-40 engine oil such as MOPAR®, Shell Rotella® and Shell Rimula® that meets Chrysler Material Standard MS-10902 and the API CJ-4 engine oil category is required. Products meeting Cummins® CES 20081 may also be used. The identification of these engine oils is typically located on the back of the oil container.

Failure to use SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil in ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) could result in severe engine damage.
