We are pleased to announce that Oildepot has now has a motor oil for the Dodge Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine ready for shipment in Canada and the United States.

This product is formulated to meet the special Chrysler MS-11106 and ACEA C-3 specifications required for this engine.
