Engin e Oil Filter Selection
The manu factu rer stron gly recom mends against the ad-
dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to
engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered prod uct and it’s
perform ance may be impaired by supplemental addi-
tives.
All of the manu factu rer’s engines have a full-flow typ e
disposable oil filter. Use a filter of this typ e for rep lace-
ment. The quality of rep lacem ent filters varies consid er-
ably. Only high quality filters shou ld be used to assu re
most efficient service. Mop ar engine oil filters are high
quality oil filters and are recom mend ed.

ernm ental agency for advice on how and where used oil
can be safely discard ed in you r area.
