Engine Oil Filter Selection

All of the manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type

disposable oil filter. Use a filter of this type for replace-

ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider-

ably. Only high quality filters should be used to assure

most efficient service. Mopar威 engine oil filters are high

quality oil filters and are recommended.

Drive Belts — Check Condition and Tension

At the mileage shown in the appropriate “Maintenance

Schedule,” check all drive belts for condition and proper

tension. Improper belt tension can cause belt slippage

and failure.

Inspect the drive belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, or

glazing and replace them if there is any sign of damage

which could result in belt failure. If adjustment is re-

quired, adjust the belts according to the specifications

and procedures shown in the Service Manual.

Special tools are required to properly measure tension

and to restore belt tension to factory specifications. Also,

check belt routing to make sure there is no interference

between the belts and other engine components.

Spark Plugs

Spark plugs must fire properly to assure engine perfor-

mance and emission control. New plugs should be in-

stalled at the mileage specified in the appropriate main-

tenance chart. The entire set should be replaced if there is

any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug.

Refer to the “Vehicle Emission Control Information” label

in the engine compartment for spark plug information.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel

only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the

converter as an emission control device.
