So as the titles stste I have a 2012 with rusty oil pan and trans Oil pan. Just curious if anyone else has done either of these changes. I am ordering all mopar replacement parts today from rockauto. Also what is the procedure for the trans pan and filter change. Do I have to run flush fluid through it when changing the fluid and filter. Also do I have to drain the torque converter and how do I drain the torque converter. Also where do I get a service tool since the jackwads that made this didnt want anyone to have a dipstick for their trans fluid.

Have serviced the transmission. Pan was rotten and leaking. Bought and aftermarket pan with a drain plug. New Wix filter and rtv sealed. Took about 6 quarts if I recall, maybe a bit more to refill. Probably could go further flushing and draining but didn’t.
As for the oil pan, it is in need of changing but from what I’ve seen it appears either the front axel needs dropped or the engine pulled. Not sure but it looks to be a paint to do.
Seems the prep on these pans was crap. The coating is bubbled like it’s rusted under the powder coat. Maybe someone with oil pan experience on these can chime in before I do mine too.
