did a bad thing the other day and let someones else do my oil change. its been cold, snowy and wet and just didn't want to do it. i went to a valvoline instant oil change (sigh) well, they saw that my trans. was a little low and added about 2 pints of fluid. i didn't think to ask at the time, but while driving home i looked at the slip and saw that it listed 2 pts. of dex/merc. should i be concerned, i really don't want to have a complete flush done.

 

i would like to know this too cuz i bought my truck used and looked at the last trans flush receipt (20,000kms ago) and they filled it with dex/merc+the additive. is this bad?

 

Thats a quart of fluid. I would be pissed since im pretty sure it says right on the dip stick. I dont think you have to flush it but I would drop the pan and change the fluid and filter. You will prob be fine for a couple thousand miles until the weather gets nice but I wouldnt leave it in there for too long you know how crappy dodge trannys are even when they are taken care of properly. Being a auto place they should know each make has a certain fluid. I would be chewing them out!! Once again this is why my truck never sees a show!! Might be convenient but 90% of the time its not right or they screw with something else.

 

So i didnt know our trannys took a certain type of fluid, luckily i havent added any but what do ours take?
