SPECIFICATIONS - FLUID CAPACITIES
DESCRIPTION SPECIFICATION
Fuel Tank 47.5 L (12.5 gal.)
Engine Oil* - 2.4 L 4.8 L (5.0 qts.) mobil 1 synthetic
Cooling System** 6.2 L (6.5 qts.)
Automatic Transaxle - Estimated Service Fill 3.8 L (4.0 qts.)

*(includes new filter)
**(includes heater and recovery/reserve bottle)
***(includes 0.12 L (4 oz.) of Mopar® Limited Slip Additive (P/N 04318060AB))
Mopar® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is required in T850 manual transaxle. Neon SRT-4 Models equipped with the T850 manual transaxle also require the addition of 0.12L (4 oz.) of Mopar® Limited Slip Additive (P/N 04318060AB).
Mopar® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. A dark brown/black fluid accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or transmission component failure.

all you need is mopar atf+4

this goes to anyone changing their trans fluid..you do not need the friction modifier.the trans will operate better without it and it breaks down the viscosity of the trans oil

wait it out and get ATF +4 , better off waiting than putting in some cheap mumbo jumbo shit that'll cause more problems in the long run and wind up costing you 1200 bucks instead of the 30-40 you woulda paid for the Mopar fluids.

thanks jay, saul... would a chrystler or jeep dealer have ATF-4 ???? and its JUST mopar atf-4, good to know, thanks papi !!!

yeah i'm pretty sure all chrysler dealers have it i.e. Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep
Mopar ATF+4

You are correct, I've purchased it from a chrysler dealer twice now b/c the parts dept. in my dodge dealership was closed.

you think taking it to a dealership would be cool to do this

i know theres a write up, if u have access to a lift or sum jackstands, u should be able to do it urself, dealer work is so overated, even though its waranteed, its still overated for small enough stuff like this

i have he tools and stuff but the lady i live with freaks out if it spills on her driveway

my parents too, i have pavers bricks... i usually put down alotta cardboard, and put down garbage bags under those... cant go wrong... but in that instance the level street is better for that... ur car needs to be COMPLETELY and ACURATELY level

if you have the tools and enough cardboard do it yourself and save yourself the money.

If you don't want too do the tranny fluid change yourself.Pep boys only charges $35 too change it if you have one in your area.You can buy Mopar Atf +4 off the shelf at Walmart now.

1 more time... WALMART SELLS MOPAR ATF-4 ????

Since we are on the subject, how often should the tranny fluid be changed? My service tech (dealership) says 30,000 miles for the SRT-4. Do you guy agree?

normally 18k miles would call for a change.however with the friction modifier added into the trans it will break the fluid down well before the 18k.me personally i change it every 12k...its easy enough to do and do not add the friction modifier back in.why they put it in there to begin with is beyond me

there is a drain plug on the bottom...its shaped like an allen head.the fill is the rubber plug that is located on the front of the trans.fill it until the fluid flows out of the fill hole.it will take slightly over three quarts of atf+4
