  Q: How to Maintain and Repair an Automatic Transmission Filter on Chrysler 300?

  A:

  Before changing the filter in your automatic transmission, add Mopar ATF+4 to the sump and include cleaning and replacing the filter when you change the transmission's oil. Change the fluid and filter only if you disassemble the transmission. The first step is to lift the car on a hoist and set a drain container under the transmission Oil Pan. Make sure at least one of the bolts has a sealing patch and use a hammer to tap at the pan's corner where you want the sump fluid to flow out. Ensure you install a new O-ring and filter at the bottom of the valve body and tighten the retaining screws only to 5 Nm or 45 inch lbs. Replenish the space inside the oil pan bolt first with Mopar Lock & Seal Adhesive before putting the sealing patch back on. Remove the oil pan and magnet, clean them, then re-install the pan using new Mopar Silicone Adhesive sealant, having the oil pan bolts tightened to 20 Nm (14.5 ft lbs.). Pour in four quarts of Mopar ATF+4 while the engine is off and move the selector lever through every position, concluding in park or neutral, before letting the car run for at least one minute. Check the transmission fluid level, add fluid as necessary to keep it at 3 mm (1/8 inch) above the lowest indicator on the stick and then check the fluid level after the transmission has warmed up to 82°C (180°F). Fully insert the dipstick into its opening so nothing can get into your transmission.

  Q: What Steps Should Be Taken During an Automatic Transmission Filter Change and Which Fluids Are Best on Chrysler 300?

  A:

  Use only Mopar® ATF+4 or Automatic Transmission Fluid in the transmission sump and take this chance to remove and change the filter, removing the magnet inside the oil sump with a clean, dry piece of cloth when you finish. Anytime the transmission is taken apart, the fluid and filter should be replaced. First, support your vehicle on a hoist and remember to put a large-opening container under the transmission pan. One of the bolts in the Oil Pan comes from the factory with a sealing patch attached. You should remove this patch for reuse. Unscrew the pan bolts and hit the pan at one edge so it moves, letting the oil drain first. Fasten a new filter together with another new O-ring at the bottom of the valve body using retaining screws set at 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.). Usually, before installing the oil pan bolt into the hole, you should apply Lock & Seal Adhesive on the sealing patch of the bolt. Rinse out the oil pan and magnet and after that, install the pan again with Mopar® Silicone Adhesive, tightening the bolts to a torque of 20 Nm (14.5 ft. lbs.). Introduce four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, into the dipstick open, turn on the engine and let the vehicle idle for about one minute. After you've used the parking and service brakes, move the selector lever to every position, finishing in park or neutral. See that the transmission fluid is between 1 and 8 millimeters or 1/8 to 1/3 inch, below the lowest mark on the dipstick. Check the level of the transfer case fluid while the vehicle is at its operating temperature, about 140° F (60° C) and push the dipstick into the dipstick opening tightly so no dirt gets inside the transmission.
