Synthetic 10W30 motor oil if it has the 2.7L engine. Preferably Mobil 1. If you don't use it now, start with a synthetic blend for the next oil change, then full synthetic afterwards. Try not to rev that engine past 4500 RPM.

Change the PCV valve every 30k miles. Very important.

Don't let anyone put ANYTHING other than Mopar brand ATF+4 in your transmission.

Don't let anyone put ANYTHING other than Mopar brand orange coolant in your engine.
