Hi i am planning a major service of transmission s& replacing the spin on filter along with sump filter & 14 quarts of Valvoline ATF +4 fluid. Now i am little confused about options available in terms of filters i can go with Mopar for 50 bucks or Napa for 35 and Wix for 35 bucks for 2 filters & pan gasket, so what will be better to get it done? thanks. |

I use the Wix, you may want to install a drain plug hole while you have the pan out. Also 14 qts. may be if you're tearing out the TC too. A standard fluid change is about 6.5 qts. though the service manual I think says 4qts. ATF+4 is the correct stuff, most people buy the WalMart brand because the understanding is that all ATF+4 is made at the same plant. When you're refilling, check the dip stick often as to not overfill. |

I use the Wix also. They never failed me yet. I use the Castrol ATF-4. Can't recall how much, but the fluid in the torque converter will not drain out. |

Some people on here have let their transmission drain for an extended period the front wheels on ramps and have got 9 quarts out of it. |
