For all of the people that says that you are using the wrong fluid. They are wrong! Dodge says to use the ddct fluid and only that for the 2.4 manual trans! You got it right bro.
Can you recommend a transmission fluid replacement for a ddct 2013 dart turbo. The dealer said that the transmission fluid is lifetime but needs to be replaced at 100k? DDCT (dry clutch transmission) thanks
That's actually not the correct fluid for your transmission. They're both SAE 75W API GL4 fluids but they do not have the same lubrication properties. You used part #68092638AA hydraulic fluid. You should've used #68092630AA transmission fluid.
My 13' dart 1.4 turbo automatic has the same transmission drain plug and rubber fill..did you fill it up and called it good or did you fill it up as it was running and then called it good ??
Been doing a lot of research on the Dart since I picked one up in very good shape. Mine has an Automatic transmission, but the same instructions for a manual trans are given in the Owner's Manual: Fluid and Filter Changes Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at the factory will provide satisfactory lubrication for the life of the vehicle. However, if the vehicle is used for frequent trailer towing, police, fleet, taxi, etc., change the fluid as indicated in the Maintenance Schedule. In addi- tion, change the fluid (and filter, if equipped) if the fluid becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the trans- mission is disassembled for any reason So unless you meet the heavy use requirements, Dodge is saying that one does not have to replace the trans fluid ever. Anyone have a comment on that? Do you believe Dodge? I feel this is important because transmissions are expensive to replace and because the average 'Backyard mechanic' does not have a lift (car has to be raised LEVEL to put new fluid in). Estimates for Trans oil replacement at a mechanic is about $360 according to on-line estimates. I have another question regarding the Transaxle (FWD version of a RWD Differential) on the Dart. Transaxle isn't even addressed in the owner manual. I assume that the Transaxle is the same as the transmission - sealed at the factory and oil in it expected to last the life of the vehicle. There is absolutely no reference to Transaxle oil type in the FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS, AND GENUINE PARTS section of the maintenance manual. On-line I have seen that some people have changed the Transaxle fluid using a procedure very similar to the procedure for changing the transmission fluid. Additionally, on-line research found that recommended transaxle oil change is every 30K - 50K - at on-line estimates of around $207, that could get spendy. Any thoughts on the Transaxle?
have you changed the transmission fluid? i have a 2013 dart rallye with 124k miles and have never changed it, only routine maintained like oil change and other stuff, also when i called my dodge dealer they told me the same thing u said, unless being using for towing and what not they said it’s lifetime
I have a question if I may, in your Dart are you able to remove the oil pan without removing the transmission? My dual clutch transmission dart came back from the dealer with the bolts on the inside.
Did filling yours to that level work good for you? I’m not seeing fluid filled like that in mine and I was just trying to check the level. I have a super fussy 2013 1.4 turbo ddc, it one time started taking gears from me because the engine oil had gotten low (probably a good thing). Anyway I changed the oil and it ran fine for me. This car did the same thing when it wanted a new battery. Now it had an evap problem, I changed the purge valve and it kept acting up. I took it in and the dealer said the valve from autozone was trash and they put a new mopar one in. The emissions test won’t complete and I still have a P1c9d. So I took it to the other specific dodge dealer and they said their readers are saying a bad transmission valve body. But the car runs just fine for the first 15 or so minutes. So I took the rubber plug out like in your video and I’m only feeling traces of mtf in there.
+Marco L Well you know when you're running low on the engine because you would have a dip stick but i don't know about the transmission. That is a good question. You just fill it up to the top and that's about it.
Marco L it’s supposed to be lifetime on manual transmissions from my understanding. I heard there is one on the automatics though, as those need to have tranny fluid changes.
😢 Dodge Dart 2013 o another similar have (2) …. 1 in the container is hidráulico ( C Series DDCT SAE 75w , Hidraulique ( mopar) , 68092638 AA, AB//////////// the another fluid, “your video, “ if the transmission is manual ( MOPAR , SAE 75w 68092630AA) 1. 75 L ,, if is automatic ( MOPAR SKU:68092636AA). Transmission C636 and C633 , sorry my ENGLISH.
There is a fill hole on the top of the tranny under the ECU (loosen with a 3/8 ratchet then with your hand after), and a black drain bolt (15/16th) on the bottom, and a overflow cap on the side where fluid will come out if you overfill it. Not sure why you put yourself through all this trouble, as well as used the wrong fluid lol; you transmission not hydraulic fluid (if it's an automatic transmission use ATF+4, not sure for manual. Mine is the 2.4L 6spd auto). I just changed mine, and shit, it's honestly the only good/easy mechanical thing about the Dart
I want to change my transmission oil ,Did you have any problem after ,you wanted the transmission oil , because they say it's a lifetime oil on those transmission,
255mlopez I’m changing it now after 60k, but that’s because I’m doing a clutch job. I figured I may as well change the oil as well. I will say that the oil at 60k is VERY black.
Robchicks Life I read about it's about the life of transmission oil, but if you don't change the tranny oil, it'll have a shorter life.. so what you did was just right, it is still oil,it gets burned and gets dirty, so it is just recommended that you replace it to prolong the lofe of the tranny..
I change your Transmission oil because I didn't know what happened how the vehicles treated this work I acquired it. So there is no real answer to why I changed the Transmission oil.
I Have A 2013 Dodge Dart RT 2.4l Automatic & It Keeps Saying That I Need A Oil Change But I Changed The Motor Oil & It Still Says That I Need To Change It. Can You Please Help Me? Thanks
For all of the people that says that you are using the wrong fluid. They are wrong! Dodge says to use the ddct fluid and only that for the 2.4 manual trans! You got it right bro.
OMG, you SAVED me so much headache, thank you very much for this video 👍🏾🔥
Very useful video, used this to cross reference with a 2016 jeep renegade
Can you recommend a transmission fluid replacement for a ddct 2013 dart turbo. The dealer said that the transmission fluid is lifetime but needs to be replaced at 100k? DDCT (dry clutch transmission) thanks
Redline makes a great alternative!

I thought I was trippin
I think he has the dry clutch automatic transmission... does that matter??
You're wrong. These are dual dry clutch transmissions.
@@RyT-1000 I'm aware of that. Part number 68092630AA is the dual dry clutch transmission fluid.
In the video he used 68092638AA hydraulic fluid.
Good Job, greetings from El Salvador...
My 13' dart 1.4 turbo automatic has the same transmission drain plug and rubber fill..did you fill it up and called it good or did you fill it up as it was running and then called it good ??

Hi man can u help me ? I want know how many liters of automatic transmission dodge dart 2000L 2016 ?
Rob the lifesaver!! I have a question how big is that pvc pipe so i can go buy one ☝️ 🙏🏻
thanks for the video.. couldn't figure out how to fill or drain..no dipstick.mechanic couldn't even figure it out..
+Danny Montoya
No problem glad to help.
it's like the cobalt, jetrag tranny,there should be an overflow on the side.. you fill it up till it overflow on that side..
Is it the same for dodge darts with a 2.4 but with an automatic?
Vicious Thrill no the one you should use is atf for automatic
I think this one has the dry clutch automatic transmission. Its a 1.4 turbo I believe
just picked up a 15 dart sxt, this will be very helpful. thanks. is that the drivers side your on?
+Bradley Sherbert yes it is the driver side. Thanks for watching.

Thank uyou for this video
Sir the upper plastic plug hiw can I remove it
And I have sound in gear. Why?
@@robchickslife6888 what would be the correct amount
What size is the pipe
Sweet funnel 👍😂
So I have a 2015 manual se but where will the transmission dip stick be?
+Marco L there isn't one
+Marco L passenger vehicles do not have a dip stick. Unless its a Truck or commercial vehicle.
That’s interesting.. I always had trucks I guess.. so how do you know when you’re running low? It will tell you?

I believe this is the "Dry Clutch Automatic Transmission" with the 1.4 turbo engine. Very different

Transmission oil i found out that it its for the life of the transmission so you dont have to change it.
Robchicks Life I found that out as well. I changed it out anyways. It was dirt black.

How many miles were on the odometer when you changed the transmission oil?
I change your Transmission oil because I didn't know what happened how the vehicles treated this work I acquired it. So there is no real answer to why I changed the Transmission oil.

Robchicks Life Thank You I Appreciate It Man!

No problem any time.
+Cgoo Last lol
Haha, reading from a teleprompter! 😆
not sure if i missed it, but how much fluid did you need?
1.8 qt is was 31 dollars a qt at the dealer, couldn't find it anywhere else so heads op on that
oh no NOT THE HYDRAULIC FLUID!!!! Is she ok????
i have a 2015 dodge dart se 2.0L that has over 71k miles when should i change the transmission oil
Wes you have any major problems? I got a 2015 sxt automatic. Been good to me so far, got a cracked windshield though lmao
Wrong oil! DANGER you might damage your transmission !
No, you're wrong. These are dual dry clutch transmissions
Do you know how often it should be changed ?
Every 60k miles.
Do it every 30k though.
That’s the Wrong oil my friend
I feel dumber after watching this
