3. Setup and Installation (Oil Change Procedure)
Performing an oil change requires basic mechanical knowledge and adherence to safety precautions. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.
3.1 Safety Precautions
- Always work on a level surface.
- Ensure the engine is cool before starting.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.
- Secure the vehicle with jack stands if lifting is required.
- Dispose of used oil and filter responsibly according to local regulations.
3.2 Required Tools (Not Included)
- Wrench for drain plug
- Oil filter wrench (if applicable)
- Drain pan
- Funnel
- Clean rags
3.3 Installation Steps
- Drain Old Oil: Place the drain pan under the oil pan. Remove the drain plug and allow all old oil to drain completely. Reinstall the drain plug and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
- Replace Oil Filter: Locate the old oil filter. Use an oil filter wrench to remove it. Ensure the old O-ring is removed from the filter housing. Lubricate the new filter's O-ring with a small amount of new engine oil. Install the new Mopar oil filter (part number 68191349AC) and tighten according to manufacturer specifications.
- Refill New Oil: Using a funnel, slowly add the six quarts of Mopar MaxPro SAE 5W-20 engine oil (part number 68218890AC) into the engine's oil fill port.
- Check Oil Level: After refilling, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. Turn off the engine and wait for a few minutes for the oil to settle. Check the oil level using the dipstick and add more oil if necessary, ensuring it is within the recommended range.
- Inspect for Leaks: Visually inspect the drain plug and oil filter area for any signs of leaks.
4. Operating and Usage
Once the oil change is complete, your vehicle is ready for operation. The Mopar MaxPro 5W-20 engine oil provides lubrication and protection for your engine's moving parts, while the Mopar oil filter ensures clean oil circulation by trapping harmful contaminants.
5. Maintenance
Regular oil and filter changes are crucial for engine health. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil change intervals. Typically, this is every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or every 6 to 12 months, depending on driving conditions and vehicle usage. Consistent maintenance with genuine Mopar parts helps preserve engine performance and fuel efficiency.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after an oil change, consider the following:
- Low Oil Pressure Light: Immediately check the oil level. If low, add oil. If the light persists, check for leaks or consult a mechanic.
- Oil Leaks: Re-check the tightness of the drain plug and oil filter. Ensure the old oil filter O-ring was completely removed before installing the new one.
- Unusual Engine Noises: If new noises occur after an oil change, stop the engine and verify the oil level and proper installation of the filter. Seek professional assistance if the issue continues.
