5. Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine running. Push
the Oil Dipstick 9336A into transmission fill tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan and pull out
again, read off oil level, repeat if necessary.
6. Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool.
7. The transmission Oil Dipstick 9336A has indicator marks every 10 mm. Determine the height of the oil
level on the dipstick and using the height, the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) as viewed with the
scan too, and the Transmission Fluid Graph, determine if the transmission oil level is correct.
8. Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level.
9. Once the oil level is correct, install the dipstick tube cap.
FLUID CONDITION
Along with fluid level, it is important to check the condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells burned, and is
contaminated with metal or friction material particles, a complete transaxle recondition is probably required. Be
sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick closely. If there is any doubt about its condition, drain out a sample for
a double check.
MOPAR® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be
identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent
and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color
and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age.
Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
FLUID AND FILTER SERVICE
FLUID/FILTER SERVICE (RECOMMENDED)
NOTE: When inserting dipstick special tool 9336A, excess insertion force may
cause the dipstick to slip past the stop on the bracket in the transmission
oil pan. An approximate distance that the dipstick should be inserted into
the fill tube is 424 mm (16.69 in.).
NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed.
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules in VEHICLE QUICK REFERENCE
, or the
vehicle owner's manual, for the recommended maintenance (fluid/filter change)
intervals for this transaxle.
NOTE: Only fluids of the type labeled MOPAR® ATF+4 should be used. A filter change
should be made at the time of the transmission oil change. The magnet (on the
inside of the oil pan) should also be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.
