Oil Change Interval:
Typically 3,000 to 7,500 miles (5,000 to 12,000 km) or 6 to 12 months, depending on oil type and driving conditions. Refer to manual for exact specifications.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended every 30,000 to 100,000 miles (50,000 to 160,000 km), with earlier intervals for severe service. Consult manual for specific fluid type and interval.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Intervals vary by spark plug type (e.g., platinum or iridium), typically between 60,000 and 100,000 miles.
Engine Oil:
Typically SAE 5W-30, meeting Chrysler MS-6395 specification. Always verify with manual.
