Use only Mopar ATF +4 in the fluid sump when replacing or servicing your car's transmission and remember to get a new filter and brush the internal magnet clean with a clean, dry cloth each time you change the transmission oil. If the transmission has been disassembled, you should also change both the fluid and filter. Place the car on a hoist, raise it to a desired height and set a drain container beneath the
Oil Pan. Factory installation adds a sealing patch to one of the oil pan bolts; this needs to be separated for later reassembly. After removing the bolts from the pan, hit the edge in one corner with a hammer to loosen it up. Then, let the oil drain after the pan is loose. Replace the old filter and O-ring on the valve body's bottom and tighten the screws to 5 Nm (40 inch lbs.). Before sliding the bolt back into the engine, top off the seal area on the bolt with Mopar Lock & Seal Adhesive. First, tend to the oil pan and magnet, put fresh sealant on the pan, set it in place with 19 Nm (165 inch lbs.) tightness and put the oil pan bolts in. Pour 8 cups of Mopar ATF +4 through the dipstick hole, start the engine and leave it idling for about a minute. After putting on both brakes and selecting park or neutral, move the lever briefly to each position. Pull out the dipstick and look at how much transmission fluid there is; if necessary, add fluid to raise the level to only 3 mm (1/8 in) below the lowest mark on the dipstick. Then, before taking a measurement, make sure the transmission has reached normal operating temperature (180°F). Seat the dipstick all the way into the dipstick opening so dirt cannot get into the transmission.
