Also when you buy the oil the auto parts store, the computer will say 4 quarts for a pan drop and filter change. Plan on 7 or 8 quarts.

Wal Mart sells Mopar. Every 20,000 to 30,000 miles is fine depending on how heavily and often you pull with it.

I buy Mopar ATF +4 from the dealer by the gallon jug and request a discount. They will if you ask!


I change mine every 20K.....along with a new trans filter.
