Engine Oil – 6.4L

For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only recommends full synthetic engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) categories of SN.

temperatures.

CAUTION!

    Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than speci- fied Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by an autho- rized dealer as soon as possible.
    Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust inhib-

itors or antirust products, as they may not be compat- 8

ible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.

    This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti- freeze) is not recommended.
