I know it's not CVT so probably auto stick

Yes auto stick it is I have heard of some horror stories regarding the warier transmissions but I’m looking forward to figuring out how to change the trans fluid 👍

This guy does a good walk through of the transmission oil change and has the same engine as mine, i can link you another video where the person has a drip pan and filter if that's your model

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but changing your transmission oil at 100 k can get tricky.

Always open to all opinions

You right i changed mines at 120k, it's doing fine so far but I should've done it at 60k but it's scary to go ahead and try it when we hear all things about transmission oil to not to touch it or change it at 60k but, it took my jeep to start slipping to get the balls to do it asap. And it worked out

I’m glad they could save it !

Nice

I changed it in my 6-speed auto, wasn’t hard at all. There is a fill port beneath the battery and a documented Chrysler service procedure for getting the fluid level right.

Yeah I went as far as buying some fluid for the change I was just going measure what was drained out and measuring the difference in amount if there is any. Thx for the heads up

Just did mines 3 weeks ago i have a 2016 Sport 2.4, mines was just a drain plug depending of your model you should check because some models have a trans oil filter and drip pan

Depends on which tranny it has. The owners guide has service intervals listed.
