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.
