The higher the grade number, the greater the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt strength classes are 8.9 and 10.9. The metric strength class identification number is imprinted on the head of the bolt. The higher the class number, the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the nut face.

Fasteners and torque specifications references in this Service Manual are identified in metric and SAE format. During any maintenance or repair procedures, itis important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.) for reassem- bly. Ifthe fastener is not salvageable, a fastener of equivalent specification must be used. THREADED HOLE REPAIR ‘Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoil®. Follow the vehicle or Helicoil® recommendations for application and repair procedures.eM AAA nTovuction 97 INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION ae. o & &)-> rhe ¢ ¥ 5 q oO; @®©®| = 2 20 a 2 23 © wa 4 2 The graphic symbols illustrated in the following International Control and Display Symbols Chart are used to identity various instrument controls.

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with engine oil. Contaminants in used engine oil, caused by internal combustion, can be hazardous to your health. Thoroughly wash exposed skin with soap and water. Do not wash skin with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner, or solvents, health problems can result. Do not pollute, dispose of used engine oil properly. Contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection center in your area. When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that only Mopar® brand parts, lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar® provides the best engineered products for servicing DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehi- cles. Only lubricants bearing designations defined by the following organization should be used. * Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) * American Petroleum Institute (API) * National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) * Association des Constructeurs Européens 4’ Automobiles (European Automobile Manufacturers Association) (ACEA) API CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE SYMBOL Use an engine cil that is API Certified and Licensed to display the certification mark. MOPAR® provides engine oils that meet or exceed, Material Standard MS-€395 requirement SAE VISCOSITY ‘SAE 5W-20 and SAE 5W-30 engine oils are recom- mended for all operating temperatures. These engine oils are designed to improve low tempera- ture starting and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oll viscosity grade for each vehicle. SAE viscosity grades are used to specify the correct viscosity oil for an engine. Use only Multi-Viscosity oils such as SAE 5W-20 or SW-30, These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the cold (SW) to hot (20, 30) temperature performance range of the oi ACEA CATEGORIES For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for service fil ols, use engine oils that meet the require- ments of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or ASIBS.0-4 LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE ££ _____ pm CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION The Engine Oil Certification Mark was developed and trademarked by the API to refer customers to those engine oils preferred by the automobile manufacturers. ‘Tis symbol means thatthe oll as been certned and asotine licensed by the American Petroleum Insitute (API). gd GASOLINE This certiication mark wil only be found on the front A ccines 4 of the oil containers. Those oils that do not display the “Mark” on the front of the container should not be used, DaimlerChrysler only recommends API Certified engine oils that meet the requirements of Material ‘Standard MS-6395. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395. SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such product, use only those oils that are certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to display the “Certification Mark" and show SAE viscosity grade recommended for each vehicle, Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type. ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES/SUPPLEMENTS The manufacturer does not recommend the addition of any engine oil additives/supplements to the specified engine oil. Engine cil additives/supplements should not be used to enhance engine cil performance. Engine oil addi- tives/supplements should not be used to extend engine oil change intervals. No additive is known to be safe for engine durability and can degrade emission components. Additives can contain undesirable materials that harm the long term durability of engines and emission systems by: ‘+ Increasing the level of Phosphorus and Sulfur in the engine oil. The API Certified Engine Oils control the Phos- phorus and Sulfur contents of the ail to levels that reduce the contamination effect on the vehicles emission control system. ‘* Altering the viscosity characteristics of the engine cil so that it no longer meets the requirements of the spec- ified viscosity grade. ‘+ Creating potential for an undesirable additive compatibility interaction in the engine crankcase. The engine oils contain a performance additive system carefully developed to optimize the oils performance in the engine. The addition of supplements may cause the oil 1o thicken prematurely, cause excessive deposit build-up and poten- tially shorten engine life ENGINE COOLANT WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. if swal- lowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene glycol. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection center in your area. Do not ‘open a cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result. CAUTION: Use of Propylene Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less freeze pro- tection and less boiling protection. The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in the cylinder hhead area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the radiator where the tube/ fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air. The use of aluminum cylinder biocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion protection. ‘Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equivalent ethylene glycol base coolantPM ————_____________________ LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE 0-5 with hybrid organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 0% Ethylene Glycol and 0% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution ‘The green coolant MUST NOT BE MIXED with the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing coolant the com- plete system flush must be performed before using the replacement coolant. CAUTION: Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Doing so will reduce the corrosion protection and may result in premature water pump seal failure. If non-HOAT coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
