Trans temp is dependent upon driving conditions but should stay at or below 175-180*. The trans temp light comes on at 275*, which is way too hot.

Engine oil/Trans temp
Tks,
It was up to 165* on a short trip pulling a camper. It's an 09 Hemi w/300 mi on it, just barely broke in. I was surprized that my local Dodge garage did not know what the normal range was or when the lights would come on, but thought it must be somewhere. Where did you find this?
Tks again.

The temp the light comes on at is from the service manual.

Blackstone labs. They send a free kit in the mail first, then you send it back with a payment of 22$ or 32$. 22$ is find out what is in the oil, 32$ is to find out how much lubricant is still left in it.

Why wouldn't you just change your oil for $32??
