Chrysler Town and Country Transmission fluid change
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2021
- The transmission fluid on a Chrysler Town and Country should be changed every 50,000 miles or two years (whichever comes first). The vehicle takes ATF+4 transmission fluid when its changed. Changing the fluid also requires changing the transmission filter, which keeps the fluid clean. Performing this routine maintenance keeps the gears shifting smoothly and can prevent engine damage. This job requires only a couple of tools and about an hour of time.
I have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan that I bought new. So it's nine years old at the time of this post. It currently has 20,000 miles on it. I do this service every year. My fluid is nice and clean. I believe in servicing my transmission regularly. It's an easy thing to do and can save you a lot of headaches by keeping the fluid and filter clean. The rest of my van is serviced like that. All fluids changed and clean at all times including brake fluid. I have a 1993 Buick Century that I have been driving for the last 29 years and it has been serviced in the same way. Change those fluids regularly and don't fall for that lifetime fluids B.S..
Me.....I would do this. It doesn't guarantee anything other than you have new fluid that works better than old fluid. I'm a believer of changing the fluid at least every 30,000 miles. As far as a dipstick.....There are videos on youtube how to use your engine oil dipstick to check your transmission fluid level. I have a 08 Lincoln MKZ and it has a drain hole and a hole under the air cleaner housing to fill the transmission. It also has a dipstick but according to the manual, your not to fill the transmission through the dipstick tube. It is restricted and takes a long time for fluid to go down the tube. I changed the oil in the Lincoln 2 times now and have had no problems. You have to be clean when your working with transmissions. The valves and passages have tight tolerances and dirt will affect their operation.
I have a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country doing engine work and are kind of disappointed to see these have not a god darn drain plug like the oil pan?????WTF?
First off why would anyone do this? Doing this on a high mileage transmission almost guarantees complete failure of transmission. Plus according to text you should check transmission fluid with a dipstick. This vehicle has no transmission dipstick
Good video. Except these vehicles are not equipped with a dipstick for checking the transmission fluid level.
That doesn't look like a town and country van
WHAT YEAR IS THIS CHRYSLER?
Does the van need to be level. I couldn’t stop a trickle out the back with just the front lifted.
Hello, what is the mileage of this minivan?
How much fluid did you have to add back
Easy guide, straight to the point. Drained the old fluid, replaced filter, rubbed some ATF on both sides of the new gasket to make it slip in place. Cross tightened it, refilled 4 quarts and checked oil level with the engine oil dipstick trick (look it up).
Thank you!! I know almost nothing about cars, but I’m trying to learn. I’ll try this in my friends garage.
Very useful thank you so much 😊
Good video. Thank you
thank you for this video
Thanks so much for posting this great video. I'm hoping to be able to do this myself. My trans pan is leaking fluid, probably from a bad gasket. (2010 Chrysler T&C but only 47000 miles - everything's leaking, probably due to lack of use by first owner.)
Do you happen to know what the relief valve is on top of the transmission. Right behind the line. You can pick it up and turn it 360. It looks like some sort of pressure relief valve.
Hi thank you for this video please what dipstick did you use
What Size socket did you use to remove pan bolts?
I have a 2016 town and country with 130K miles on it. I don't know if the transmission was serviced previously or not. Should I go ahead and service it or are the new ones like the old ones and it could be a death sentence?
