  Q: What Steps Are Involved in Changing the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Jeep Liberty?

  A:

  Mopar® ATF+4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, is the only kind of fluid that should go into the transmission sump and the filter must be changed when you do an oil change. If you divide the transmission for any purpose, you need to replace the fluid and filter. To start, elevate the vehicle on a hoist and put a large drain container under the vehicle's transmission Oil Pan. The factory applies a sealing patch to one of the oil pan bolts; this should be removed and reused when changing the oil pan again. Tighten the blower housing, then lightly tap the oil pan at any corner to loosen it as you let the fluid drain out before taking it off. Change the filter and O-ring on the valve body and tighten the screws up to 5 Nm (45 inch lbs.) at the bottom. After finding the exact hole and putting the oil pan bolt aside, use Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive to cover and replace the sealing patch. Clean the oil pan and magnet, install the pan again using new Mopar® Silicone Adhesive sealant and tighten the oil pan bolts to 20 Nm (14.5 ft. lbs.). Add four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, to the dipstick opening, start the engine and let it run in idle mode for one minute. After braking, change the selector lever to each position, selecting park or neutral last. Add transmission fluid until the dipstick shows the level 3 mm (1/8 inch) below the lowest level. Check the fluid level once again once the transmission has been operating for at least 82°C (180°F). Always make sure the dipstick is in the dipstick opening all the way to keep anything from reaching the transmission.

  Q: How to Maintain and Repair an Automatic Transmission Filter on Jeep Liberty?

  A:

  Use only Mopar® ATF+4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, when servicing or repairing the fluid filter for your automatic transmission. Ensure you clean the magnet in the Oil Pan with a clean cloth as well. If you have disassembled the transmission, change the fluid and filter afterward. Start by hoisting your car and setting a drain container underneath the transmission oil pan. At the factory, the oil pan uses a sealing patch on one of its bolts; this should be removed for use again if you take it off. Relax the hold on the pan and lightly hit the bottom of one corner so that the fluid can drain and then take out the oil pan. Remove any old seal and then install a new one with a new filter over the drain port on the valve body. Tighten the retaining screws to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.). Before you reinstall the oil pan bolt, cover the sealing patch on the bolt with new Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive. Followed by that, clean the oil pan and magnet, reinstall the pan after using new Mopar® Silicone Adhesive sealant and tighten the bolts to 20 Nm (14.5 ft. lbs.). Put four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4 into the dipstick opening, turn on the engine and let it idle for at least sixty seconds. After using the brakes, move the selector lever just into each position and end by putting it in park or neutral. After checking the transmission fluid, add more only if needed and bring the level to 3mm or 1/8 inch below where the dipstick line is marked. Check the level of fluid when the transmission cools down to its operating temperature of 82°C (180°F) and make sure the dipstick is set so dirt can't get into the transmission.
