Spark Plug Replacement:

Around 60,000 - 100,000 miles (96,000 - 160,000 km) for platinum or iridium plugs (check specific recommendations).

Timing Belt Replacement:

If equipped with a timing belt (early models may have used chain on some variants, but belt is common), typically around 90,000 - 100,000 miles (145,000 - 160,000 km). Critical to replace to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

Fluid Specifications

Coolant Type:

Chrysler HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Mopar P/N 05103530AA or equivalent. Avoid mixing with older IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology) coolants.

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (verify with vehicle placard or manual)

Power Steering Fluid Type:

Chrysler Power Steering Fluid (MS-5901) or equivalent ATF+3.

Engine Oil Type:

SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40 API certified oil. For engines prone to oil consumption or higher mileage, a 10W-30 or 10W-40 might be considered, but always check manual for recommended viscosity by temperature range.

Known Issues

Engine Oil Consumption:

Some models, particularly those with higher mileage or specific engine variants, can exhibit increased oil consumption. Regular checks are vital.

Coolant Leaks:

Radiator, heater core, and hose leaks can occur due to age and material degradation. The plastic tanks on radiators are prone to cracking.

Suspension Wear:

Components like ball joints, tie rod ends, and sway bar links can wear out, leading to clunking noises and alignment issues.

Transmission Issues:

Automatic transmissions can sometimes experience solenoid failures or torque converter issues. Clutch wear is common on manual transmissions with high mileage.

Electrical Gremlins:

Aging wiring harnesses, poor grounds, and failing sensors can lead to intermittent electrical problems. Body control modules can also be a point of failure.

Rust And Corrosion:

In regions with salt on roads, rust can affect body panels, suspension components, and exhaust systems.
