  Q: How to Service and Repair an Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Chrysler Town & Country?

  A:

  Refer to the vehicle's maintenance guide when changing the transaxle fluid and its filter. Use just Mopar® Atf+4 fluids for the transmission and replace the filter during the oil change, also cleaning the magnet inside the Oil Pan with a clean dry cloth. If you open the transaxle, take out the old fluid and change the filter. Raise the car on a hoist and use a drain container below the oil pan of the transaxle. Release the bolts on the pan and give a sharp tap to one side to free the fluid, then take off the oil pan. Take off the Oil Filter nuts, put on a new filter with its nuts and tighten them to 5 Nm or 40 in. lbs. Use a bead of Mopar® Atf Rtv (Ms-Gf41) to secure the filter oil pan in place, then clean the pan and magnet, apply new Mopar® Silicone Adhesive to the pan and tighten the bolts to 6 Nm (50 in. lbs.). Pour four containers of Mopar® Atf+4 into the dipstick opening, start your engine and let it run for at least a minute. With both brakes applied and the car parked, move the gear selector a short distance to every option, closing in neutral or park. Check how much fluid there is in the transaxle and add fluid until it reaches 3 mm (1/8 in.) below the shortest mark recorded by the dipstick. When the transaxle has heated up to 82°C (180°F), look at the fluid level inside the pressure cooker once again. Ensure you push the dipstick down until it stops so dirt will not go into the transaxle.

  Q: How to replace an Automatic Transmission Filter with Mopar ATF +4 on Chrysler Town & Country?

  A:

  Use only Mopar ATF +4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Type 9602 when changing both the fluid and filter in your automatic transmission. First, raise the vehicle on a hoist and have a container beneath the transaxle Oil Pan as you drain. After loosening the bolts on the pan, hit one corner lightly to help the fluid leave the pan before you take it off. After that, loosen and remove all of the Oil Filter-to-valve body screws and take out the old oil filter and its gasket. Change the filter, the gasket, wash the oil pan and magnet and after reinstalling the pan, apply new Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant and tighten the pan bolts to 133 inch lbs. Fill four quarts of Mopar ATF +4 through the dipstick, start the vehicle and let it idle for one whole minute. After you have applied the parking and service brakes, push the selector lever into each position for just a moment and stop it in Park or Neutral. After adding transaxle fluid to be 3 mm (1/8 inch) below the "ADD" mark, check the fluid again when the transaxle is hot (180°F). Do not lift the dipstick out of the transaxle during checks to keep it free of dirt. An alternative approach is to let the transaxle warm up fully, pick an appropriate tool and slide the suction line down the dipstick tube up to the lowest part of the pan for full draining. Once you've removed the suction line, insert the Mopar ATF +4 through the dipstick tube, start up the engine and check the level as you did with the previous procedure.
