************************************************
Symptom: Customer may complain of high oil consumption, grey oil smoke coming out of the exhaust or breather tube, or mechanical knocking. Neoprene compounds used internally in the manufacture of oil filters not recommended by DaimlerChrysler may separate from the filter, lodge in the piston cooling nozzle, and can fail the engine.
Note: this is not an engine defect.
Note: section 2.7 of the truck warranty manual states DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation is not responsible for failures resulting from improper repair or the use of parts which are not genuine DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation / Mopar or DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation / Mopar approved parts. Damages caused by the use of oil filter not approved by DaimlerChrysler may not be covered by the new vehicle warranty. DaimlerChrysler recommends the following oil filters. Do not use any oil filter containing neoprene. Please share this with your customers.
Filters: Model years 1989 to 2001

Notes:
The LF3349 Cellulose filter does not appear on this list. It was approved in the past for 12Valve engines, but it has been superseded by the LF3949, which has a stronger metal case for the 24 Valve engines. You can use your existing LF3349's for 12 valve engines without concern about warranty coverage. | |
