2015 Chrysler 200C 2.4L (and similar) 9 Speed Transmission Fluid Change - 948TE / ZF9HP48 -

[@rickchambers73]

Retired Catapiller Heavy Equipment Mechanic. Very good video, everything I needed to know you told me. Thank you. Also very smart move to count how much came out. Most garage mechanics wouldn't do it. The only thing I'll do different is I will a 1 quart brand new fluid though the system to make sure I got clean return coming out. So instead of 4 quarts I'll need 5 quarts. God bless 😊

[@jordanrussell345]

Very thorough video thank you. If a person is diligent about precisely measuring what comes out, no need for dipstick.

[@rickchambers73]

What happens if it was low on fluid. Your going to put it back low on fluid

[@joelcruz8746]

Good job man this is the best video I’ve seen for this job

[@derrickb3898]

Very very good and super informative. Youre a real hero!

[@williamholden2385]

thank you excellent video ... by the way I purchased some clear flexible hose that fits into the fill hole and the length is approx 2 ft that allows me to attach a funnel and literally pour the fluid into funnel through the clear hose and into the trans

[@dylanfuhrer1985]

Extremely thorough. Thanks for the info

[@BigBassBucket]

Hey man your videos are awesome. Coming from someone who needs to do this to their 200 it’s the best video and ones I’d the only ones to go to!

[@mozacs3482]

This takes me like 15 minutes to get it done 1-take off the engine cover 2- get a long 3/8 Extension and connect a universal joint socket and alan 6 socket 3get under the car and don’t forget to level it with safety stands 4- ask some one to find a gap at the top of the engine and pass you the 3/8 entension To connect on the fill plug located on the top of the transmission and now you can take off the fill plug 5- take off the drain plug to drain the fluid, when done put the drain plug back ,alway measure what come out and put and same amount of the new flue and you done ‘’;

Excelente video mi pregunta es cuantos cuartos de aceite cuando esta completo vacío la transmisión gracias

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

Please watch video starting at 17:40. You still have to check it afterwards like I describe to make sure the level inside transmission is correct.

[@richsmobileautorepair9203]

Put a closed end 6mm ratcheting box end wrench on the shank of the 6mm allen socket if you can't get the ratchet in. Or try from above with a wobble.

[@Alberto_iAlz]

Is there other procedure to made if I want to replace the entire fluid? Thanks a lot for yours videos bro God bless u! 🙏🏻

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

Typically to replace all the fluid requires an expensive machine that will allow the transmission to pump the old fluid out to the machine while the machine pumps fresh fluid in. A dealership or hood private shop may be able to do it.

[@DiligentDave1966]

Most reputable mechanics recommend not to do a full transmission flush on a vehicle with more than 70 or 80 thousand miles.

[@garaiselvis]

Hi. My 200 has 85k km and the trany is a bit bumpy when shifting up and down and a bit slow when steping on gas when i want to overtake someone on the highway. That could be reason that inneed to cchange the fluid?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

You should check with your dealer for software updates for the transmission and also change the fluid.

[@Mrsong94]

What transmission oil do I need to use? can I use atf +4?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

At 16:20 in this video I tell you the correct fluid from Chrysler only. Don’t use anything else.

[@Mrsong94]

[@AmitSharma-gf4gz]

Yet again very detailed video. I have a question for you. Last winter my car was around 110k km. I was having some head moves while gear shift so i went to the dealer and they recommeded so called transmission fluid flush. They got my problem solved that time however since then i drove like 50k more km i am having little trouble in gear shift when my car is cold like when i have transmission fluid temp around 20 degree celsius. Once my transmission is above 50 degree celsius my car runs very smooth. Can you recommend me anything helpful here.

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

I would have the fluid level checked again. It could be a bit low. But when it heats up and expands it’s okay.

[@AmitSharma-gf4gz]

@@JoesCarSmartsNY does the fluid will came out from inlet if i keep engine running and putting the dipstick in?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

@@AmitSharma-gf4gz To check the fluid properly the engines has to be warm and the vehicle needs to be jacked up (or on a lift) and perfectly level. If all that is done, the fluid will not leak out of the fill plug hole. If you haven’t watched this whole video, you need to before you try to check your own transmission.

[@dougmacrae9535]

Is there any way to find out about the maintenance on my 2016 Crysler 200? It did not come with one.

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

What didn’t it come with? A service record? You could get a CarFax report to see what shops it’s been in. If your car is under 100k miles it’s pretty unlikely this has been done. Also, many garages don’t get into doing these because they’re such a pain.

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

@@dougmacrae9535 Most people don’t do that unfortunately. I’d try to see if it was taken to a dealer for anything. A CarFax can give you hints about that.

[@martynasandrijauskas2550]

Hello good video! Didn’t realize exactly how much oil you poured back? Maybe you can write in exactly the liters you need? I would greatly appreciate. Thank you.

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

17:50 in the video answers this.

[@martynasandrijauskas2550]

My car is after an accident and the oil spilled out of the boxes, now I repaired it and don’t know how much oil was in the box. I found info on the internet that I need a 4.5 liter fill. Do you know if this is true? In your vidoe you say you have poured 4,125 liters as far as I understand?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

@@martynasandrijauskas2550 I used 3 and 7/8 quarts to fill it from empty. I think that converts to 4.4 liters.

[@T.HudsonTAOSoul]

My transmission light come on when I drive over 50 at 55923 Mileage they said I might have to replace transmission was never flushed or fluid checked. What you suggest?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

Check fluid level first. If it’s okay, change fluid. After that you might need a new trans unfortunately.

[@dougmacrae9535]

went the Crysler dealer the other day for a recall and asked about my tranny fluid and he said it was a sealed unit and there was no reason to replace or change the fluid. I have a 2016 Crysler 200.??

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

Dealers love to say that. It’s a good idea to change the fluid around 100k miles. Also, some dealers just don’t want to deal with the hassle. They don’t care if your trans fails. They want to sell you a new car.

[@Mrsong94]

Also, how many litres do I need? through google it says "5.2 litres" is that true?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

For my vehicle: 2.4L engine Front Wheel Drive…see 17:00 in this video. That was what worked for me. The 5.2L is probably a complete fluid replacement including what is held in the torque converter.

[@alialbaaj6102]

Hello How many miles should I change the transmission fluid in a 2016 Chrysler C200?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

My opinion is that it should be done around 100,000 miles. A bit sooner does not hurt either.

[@alialbaaj6102]

Thank you very much

[@alialbaaj6102]

But the Chrysler company in the catalog did not indicate the need to replace the transmission oil, as it is a vegetable oil and is not affected. What do you think about this?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

@@alialbaaj6102 That info is in the video. The company that makes the transmission is ZF. They have been saying their transmissions don’t need fluid changes for many years now. But they will fail eventually with the original fluid. It wears out over time and needs replacement. It can last much longer than ever before, but it can’t last forever.

[@alialbaaj6102]

@@JoesCarSmartsNY Thanks

[@Catman1798]

The dipstick you mentioned is a model number 10323a or something? I see one that is 1017. One guy was using it on KZbin for a Jeep renegade. I ended up buying that one. I couldn’t find the 10323a one anymore. From what I can tell it has the same measurements as the 10323a model dipstick. I was gonna return it but looks the same to me.

[@HuskerRed11]

Step daughter has a daughter has a 2015 200S, 2.4L. 231,000 miles. The wife got it in 2015 with 47,000 miles. Never changed the tranny fluid. Should I do this or just leave it alone? Wasnt ever driven hard or anything like that. But to me it has a lil delay when shifting. If the new fluid makes it worse I can put the old fluid back in. Drain it in a clean drain pan of course.

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

@@HuskerRed11 There are two opinions on this. Some people say to leave it alone and that changing it can cause problems at high miles. That theory is that the old fluid has built up a residue inside that can be flushed away with new fluid. However, my preference is to change the fluid anyway. You just have to weigh your personal preferences. Also, changing the fluid might not change the shifting behavior anyway.

[@HuskerRed11]

​@JoesCarSmartsNY Yeah I think I'll just change it. I heard about leaving the old fluid in it cause it has the "grit" in it. And I believe new fresh fluid gotta be better than what's in it now. I just wanted to hear your opinion. Thanks for replying.

Please enter the box designation. Who is the manufacturer and is it a good chest. Thank you

[@bha5475]

What about the filter? I was thinking about having the dealership drop the pan and replace the filter and refill. But how difficult is the filter to access? I have seen some say you have to take the transmission out to do that?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

My understanding is that the filter is not meant to be serviced. I could be wrong. I do remember reading something about having to remove the trans to replace it.

[@bha5475]

@@JoesCarSmartsNY okay. Thank you.... scary when the dealership tells you I’m they don’t have to take out the transmission to change the filter 😂 but I figured they didn’t know. SMH it’s such a pain in the ass to find someone to maintain your car maybe that’s why so many people don’t.

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

@@bha5475 Maybe the dealer knows a way around it that we don’t know. I remember helping a friend research a Trans fluid change for his GMC 3500 truck with the Allison trans. All the dealer would tell him is that it has “lifetime fluid”. My friend said “I know you say that...but I want it changed anyway”. So the fluid never got changed because the dealer essentially refused.

[@bha5475]

@@JoesCarSmartsNY they suggested i do the pan drop and fluid filter change. It’s 2015 v6 with 56,000 miles I’m having a rough shift between 4 and 5 but not very frequently usually on curvy or hilly back roads idk what to do and I just paid the car off!

I would have someone scan the codes ASAP. Better not to drive it until a mechanics looks at it. Sometimes you can do more damage driving it when it has those types of warnings on.

[@Kendall-Denko]

Is it better to wait until after winter is over?

[@JoesCarSmartsNY]

It doesn’t matter to the car. It’s best to drain it when the engine and transmission are warmed up (whether it’s winter or summer). The only reason the weather matters is if you have an indoor space to work or can tolerate working outside.

From online reading I’ve learned that there is a screen inside, but the trans case has to be split to access it. Supposedly the screen isn’t meant to be replaced.
