This is an old thread, but the question we are trying to answer is recent.

I always THOUGHT that the tube going to the top of the radiator was the inflow and the tube at the bottom was the outflow. But I can't say for sure.

rofl too funny

lol I think you missed it.

Yes but Mr. Spock didn't have sex either. Okay maybe once every 7 years. :rotfl2:

I dunno. I watched him like a hawk the first serveral times he worked on my Jeep. He's a friend of the family, and a good guy, but my Jeep is my baby. Anyway he never steered me wrong, so I...

I would do the 50/50, then in a few weeks, drain and fill with 75/25, then in a few weeks drain and fill with 100/0. I'm thinking 4 weeks or so.

I would research it first, because I don't know,...

I've been driving my Jeep well over 100 miles now, and everything is working fine. I fear having to add more gasoline because something might mess up. Problem is with those two sentenses is you...

Hopefully very small pieces, which were in there before I changed the fluid. Also there are two magnets at the bottom of the pan. When I cleaned those there were very few metal fragments.

If you change your transmission fluid regularly you should need to re-use the old fluid. When you go 90k and change the fluid, then you might have a non-operational transmission if you don't re-use,...

material from the bands come off into the fluid. If you remove the old fluid you are removing some of the debris that came off the bands. I have heard stories of people changing their transmission...

lol, ok here's where you guys start giving me a hard time.

The first AT fluid change was at 90k, the 2nd was at 147k, that was yesterday. :D

Nope, you guys are right. My owners manual says Dex III or Merc. ATF+3 is for the trans on the 2.5 4 cylinder.

Now I wonder what we put in it back at 90k miles!?!?!?

I'll drain and refill...

I'm going to double check it but I am 99% sure this is what my owner's manual said.


MOPAR ATF fluid or equivalent labeled DEXRON II or MERCON fluid

So how should I read this?

I found this interesting...

Yep that is why I got the ATF-4.

I'll have to check my owner's manual again. I thought it said ATF+3. Looking online I see there are disagreements. Some says ATF+4 is bad, some say it is fine to use and they have over 80k miles. ...

Thanks, and thanks for the information. That's the nice thing about write ups, you usually learn more from people that read and comment on it.

My manual said Mopar ATF+3, or Mercon, or Dexron. I forget the spelling and correct numbers because I knew I was going to get the Mopar stuff. When I couldn't find the Mopar I looked for the ATF+4....

Well not much of a write up, but maybe it will be helpful if you've never done this before.

I've done lots of things to my various vehicles, but it dawned on me that I have NEVER changed a...
