So, how often do you get yours done?

Transmission shop my son has his car at tells me it needs to be done, on newer trucks and cars, every 20-30K.

Is he after money or does it really need to be done that often? I'm from the old school of having it done every 100K whether it needs it or not.

 

i believe dodge recomends every 30k

 

Think i'm gonna hit right in the middle at 60k. Since I'm not doing any severe duty type stuff.

 

I changed it when I got the truck at 86k, and then at 107k just because the pan was leaking. The first was a flush. Now I will probably got until 150k .... if I have the truck that long.

 

has anyone actually done a write up with sum pics? im looking at doing it myself at my buddys shop. i would like to even drop in a new filter aswell. do we gotta put mopar ATF4 in it or does royal purple mkae atf 4? and how much atf4 does she need?

 

what you can do is put like 5 in and then check it and then check it after every 1 or 2 qts until its full. my guess is prolly bout 12 or 13 qts

 

Yes Royal Purple does...it is Max ATF+4 read down the list it will tell you. I use this stuff its good! and i think its like 13 i think? but i always buy 15 and have a quart of so left over after i fill mine up to the proper level!

Does the torque converter have a drain plug? My ram had this, and it made for an easy oil change.

 

OM states every 60k for trans and every 30k for the differentials and transfer case.

 

wow i did mine way early then! i did my differentials and transfer every 15K and trans at 30
