CAUTION!
If the fluid temperature is below 50°F (10°C) it may
not register on the dipstick. Do not add fluid until
the temperature is elevated enough to produce an
accurate reading. Run the engine at idle, in PARK, to
warm the fluid.
8. Reinstall the engine cover and snap it down securely onto the four mounting studs.
9. Check for leaks. Release the parking brake.
NOTE: To prevent dirt and water from entering the
transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make
sure that the dipstick cap is properly reseated. It is
normal for the dipstick cap to spring back slightly from
its fully seated position, as long as its seal remains
engaged in the dipstick tube.
Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter if the fluid
becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the trans-
mission is disassembled for any reason.
Clutch Hydraulic System (Manual Transmission)
— If Equipped
The clutch hydraulic system is fed by a segregated
volume of fluid within the brake system master cylinder
reservoir. In the event of leakage or wear, use only the
manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Flu-
ids, Lubricants, And Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information.

Manual Transmission — If Equipped
Selection Of Lubricant
Use only manufacturer’s recommended manual trans-
mission fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug. The fluid
level should be between the bottom of the fill hole and a
point not more than 3/16 in (4.76 mm) below the bottom
of the hole.
Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level.
Frequency Of Fluid Change
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at
the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the life of
the vehicle. If the fluid becomes contaminated with
water, it should be changed immediately. Otherwise,
change the fluid as recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule. Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the
proper maintenance intervals.

Chassis
ComponentFluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Automatic Transmission –
If Equipped Use only ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid. Failure to use ATF+4 fluid may affect
the function or performance of your transmission. We recommend MOPAR ATF+4
fluid.
Manual Transmission – If
Equipped We recommend you use MOPAR Manual Transmission Lubricant meeting the
requirements of FCA Material Standard MS-9224.
Transfer Case We recommend you use MOPAR ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Axle Differential (Front) We recommend you use MOPAR Gear & Axle Lubricant (SAE 80W-90) (API GL-5).
Axle Differential (Rear) 226 RBI (Model 44)– We recommend you use MOPAR Gear & Axle Lubricant (SAE
80W-90) (API GL-5) or equivalent. For trailer towing, use MOPAR Synthetic Gear &
Axle Lubricant (SAE 75W-140). Models equipped with Trac-Lok require an additive.
Brake Master Cylinder We recommend you use MOPAR DOT 3 Brake Fluid, SAE J1703. If DOT 3, SAE J1703 brake fluid is not available, then DOT 4 is acceptable.
