I did a search found a thread that the OP asked this question and never really got an answer. My dad owns an 08 Jeep with the 4 speed auto tranny. It has a plug on the fill tube instead of a dipstick, and is to be serviced by the dealer only. My father is not about to do that. I am trying to gather some info for him. So when he decides to do this he's got a plan of attack.
Seems Jeep has some hi-tech way of measuring fluid based on temperature of the fluid etc. At some point we'd like to drop the pan, change the filter top it off, then do a line flush. I figured we could pump fluid out of the dipstick, measure that amount, and replace it with fresh fluid, or drop a line and do the same thing. Its the pan drop that has us stumped, since getting an exact measurement of fluid might be an issue if some misses the drain pan, etc.
Anyone do a tranny service on a newer Chrysler with the plug on the fill tube?
I guess we could drive the car get a dipstick that fits it make a mark and go from there. That is assuming it was properly filled from the factory?
TIA,
AD
