How many litres for tranny and transfer case

_UnLiMiTeD_ · **Posted:** Fri Nov 09, 2007 9:19 pm

Hey guys, next week my jeep goes in for a full service. Front diff, rear diff, engine oil and filter, tranny fluid and filter, transfer case and spark plugs.

I got all my fluids except the tranny fluid, i wanted to check with the shop to see if they thought it needed to be done and they said yes.

Anyways, one the amsoil site it says: Automatic Transmission, 4-Shallow Paneed Initial Fill..........3.8 liters

Or total fill 8.3 litres. Which one would it be?

Also they are charging me $150 to do it all, seems like a good deal to me.

Ohh wow, they are only charging $150 to change the front and rear diff, tranny, tcase, and the engine oil? Thats a great price for labor!

The amount it takes varies it seems. I used 8 quarts when I dropped my tranny pan to change the filter. I left my cover off over night as I didnt get done in time so I guess it slowly dripped out. Everyone else claims between 5-6 quarts.

If you flush the tranny it takes alot more fluid, so I suppose that what it means by 'total fill'. You use a machine to pump fluid through the tranny so it changed ALL the fluid.

Ill let you figure out the quarts=liters.

yea and the spark plugs too! We know the people at the shop there so they give us a good discount on labour. If its small stuff like just an oil change they do it for free because my dad helps fix their computers if they break

I will have to ask them what they think.

Now onto the next issue, tomorow i go buy the tranny fluid! First off, whats a good brand to get at a decent price. There is a place that sells just amsoil tranny fluid, but its $12 a litre. And if i do need like 8-10 litres, thats a lot of money. Money of which i do not have so i need something cheaper but will perform well. Suggestions?

You must use ATF+4 ATF or Amsoil,anything else is a no-no for your tranny.Valvoline and Castrol makes ATF+4 now(at most parts stores,$4-$5 aqt) or get the ATF+4 at the dealer,ATF+4 is a full synthetic fluid by the way.

Alright, i am officially done shopping for parts! Grand total of $200+ for the parts needed for tune up and an additional $150 labor to have it done. So this tune up will cost me a little over $350 to do in total.

And for the parts, heres the group photo!

So heres the breakdown:
5 litres of mobil 1 oil and K&N gold filter
6 litres of valvoline ATF+4 for tranny and transfer case, along with the filter kit
2 litres on pennzoil synthetic 75w-140 for front diff
2 litres of castrol syntec 75w-90 for rear diff
6 Ac delco platinum series spark plugs

She run just like new!
