Mechanic's Note: This manual details the definitive long-block specifications and torque values for these cars. Please note that models built from 2014–2023 utilize the updated factory oil filter housing design, which uses a different oil filter than the early 2011–2013 models. The core block, pistons, crankshaft, and cylinder heads remain mechanically interchangeable.
