Fluid Drain and Refill

Fluid and filter changes are not required for average passenger car use. Severe usage such as commercial type usage or prolonged operation in city traffic, requires that fluid be changed and bands adjusted every 15,000 miles.

See TSB 21-010-06 4/14/2006

Whenever the factory fill fluid is changed, only fluids of the type labeled MOPAR ATF+4 (Type 9602) should be used.

1. Raise vehicle and place a suitable drain pan under transaxle oil pan.
2. Loosen transaxle oil pan attaching bolts and allow fluid to drain, then remove oil pan.
3. Replace oil filter and adjust bands if necessary, then install oil pan and gasket.
4. Add four quarts of approved automatic transaxle fluid through the filler tube.
5. Start engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes, then with parking brake applied move selector lever momentarily to each position. Place selector lever in N or P and check fluid level. Add fluid to bring level to Add mark.
6. Recheck fluid level after transaxle has reached operating temperature. The level should be between Add and Full marks.
