Default Tranny fluid change 62TE

What would be the best way to drain and refill 62TE transmission? Also the best fluid.

Have someone else do it.......... Just kidding. You can suck out about 3 qts and drive for a month or two and suck out some more, or remove the pan and reseal with silicone and fill. Or if you have access to a power flusher. The main thing you need to do is buy a dip stick from the dealer.

62TE Service Fill - MOPAR® ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid - 1 Quart - 05013457AA - 5.5 Quarts - 5.2 Liters

transmission service, type of fluid used, part number for the fluid and amount required to fill after being serviced.

No it is not synthetic.
