Engine Options:
Likely 2.5L Turbocharged Inline-4 (Shelby variants), potentially a naturally aspirated 2.5L or 3.0L V6 for non-turbo models. Specific engine codes would be detailed in the manual (e.g., A527 for the 2.5L Turbo).
Horsepower Range:
Approximately 150-200+ hp depending on engine and turbocharging (Shelby models were significantly more powerful).
Torque Range:
Torque figures would vary significantly by engine, with turbocharged engines offering higher torque output.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for all models, likely with multi-point injection (MPI).
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline
ECM Details:
Information on the Engine Control Module (ECM) and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) would be present.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000-7,500 miles or 3-6 months, depending on oil type and driving conditions (manual will specify).
Tune Up Interval:
Spark plugs, filters, and ignition system checks typically at 30,000-60,000 miles.
Engine Oil:
API Service SG or SH, viscosity SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 (manual will provide exact specifications based on engine).
Coolant:
Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant (Ethylene Glycol based) mixed 50/50 with distilled water. Capacity approx. 7-9 quarts.
Transmission Fluid Auto:
ATF+3 or ATF+4 (depending on specific transmission, manual will clarify). Capacity approx. 6-8 quarts for fill.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
Gear oil, likely GL-4 or GL-5 rated (manual will specify viscosity and type).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 brake fluid.
Turbocharger Reliability:
Turbocharger seals, wastegate issues, and intercooler plumbing can be prone to wear in high-performance models.
Electronics:
As with many vehicles of this era, electrical gremlins related to wiring harnesses, sensors, and control modules can occur.
Suspension Wear:
Bushings and ball joints can wear over time, leading to steering looseness and suspension noise.
Body Rust:
Rust can affect wheel wells, rocker panels, and lower body sections, especially in areas with road salt.
