Transmission fluid drain and fill

[Andrew kasper]

Well I good evening just joined the group. I decided to do a drain and fill ony 2014 tradesman. Found the hard way, watch the hole video. I drained the fluid at 112 f. Got about 6 qts out of. Went to refill, waited till it came out the plug, but then it started gushing out. Apparently when the truck gets around 140 the bypass valves open and it will drain the tranny cooler. So needless to say I ended up filling my pan and getting a nice oil slick on my driveway. And burned my hand trying to get the plug back on. Will more than likely have to add in the morning. When it has cooled down.

Curious what fluid did you mix back in? I have some champion global synthetic atf leftover and it's enough to do a pan service if it's only ~6qts

what is the drain schedule on the transmission fluid? I guess I should pull the manual out now

"Lifetime"

typical.

Though it does call for the fluid level to be checked at 40k intervals I think?

Lifetime means it's good for the lifetime of your warranty.
