Transmission Fluid Service | 2014 Jeep Patriot (6F24 6 Speed)

I perform a drain and fill transmission fluid service on my 2014 Jeep Patriot 6 speed automatic NON CVT.

Free tip Friday on a Sunday. Always take the fill plug out first before draining. If you drain it first, you could be in trouble

You can add all the quarts with the dipstick port open while you fill. No burping at all

[@josephjohnston2243]

Thanks for the video. Many people will tell you that all of these Patriots just have the CVT, so there's not much help for the 6 speed automatic. I drained what looked like three quarts (I won't have any empty measured container until I empty the gallon jug I bought), and then filled with three quarts. When I opened the inspection cover, it came gushing out. Also, I can see the fluid level in the filler neck. Could something be preventing fluid from getting down to the bottom of the reservoir? Right now I don't even have a solid feeling of how much fluid is actually in there.

[@jessedrifts]

Yes If you fill it too fast it will bubble up. The transmission is sealed so that's the point of air evacuation unless you open the inspection cover to drain while you fill the transmission.

[@WMAT77LL]

I did my inlaws 14 jeep patriot it has the same transmission as yours ,they bought the transmission filter with gasket ,and they got 5qt of liquid moly transmission fluid, I looked at the trans pan shape and bolt holes compared it to the gasket it looked correct and bolt holes. so drained out 4.25 qt ,took trans pan off and could not see the filter nothing that looked like the new filter so I went on cleaning pan ,then noticed the gaskets are different the new gasket looked very similar to the pan's shape but at the bottom left corner is different 😮 ,so went on cleaning the pan and reused the original gasket,I thought the transmission fluid was the wrong but it says sp-iv the liquid moly transmission fluid is brownish color not the typical red I see lol ,where are these transmission filters located

[@james4wd236]

I just serviced my friends Jeep with new fluid and I just put in the first 3 in then started it and then put it in neutral running and filled it with another qt and it worked fine. Honesty I have no idea why Chrysler wouldn't recommend filling the tranny from a fill plug in neutral. All the other manufacturers do it that way.

[@lanwickum]

Notice that the asmoil label does not says meets specs any where. It says use were these specs are recommended. AmsOil is good. I won’t use it for that reason.

[@CO.Electrical]

Can you check the fluid from the inspection port with that black dipstick before draining it ?

[@jonathanromero8639]

So i jus did this today on my patriot, same 6F24 case, 3 quarts were what came out when I drained it, took the little black cap off the hose thats to the left on top of the transmission to burp the air or watever u wanna call it, filled 3 quarts through the fill port, closed it and checked the level on the fluid through the checkport on the back of the transmision at operating temprature or about 125°F. Checked it with the special dipstick that is used to check through that check port, with 3 qts in there and at operating temperature...dry so i added another to make it 4qts and let it set in n checked again and there was barely anything on the tip of the dipstick, so i added 1 more qt thats 5qts total and it looked like it got to 20-25 on the dipstick which is what they say it should be at on the dipstick. Took it for a test drive and i could already feel better performance.

[@MrDodgyh]

Yeah it is 5 quarts. And you're right to have taken of the plug in the breathing tube, that allows for the addition of the final 2 quarts. This is a good video, just missing that little bit about the breather tube. Still will be very helpful for the average user.

[@jameshopkins5702]

Factory it requires 4.3 quarts

[@jessedrifts]

you all don't realize the torque converter holds a significant amount of fluid. So unless you pull that out or use a fluid exchanger, you aren't getting a full 4.3 quart drain.

[@jameshopkins5702]

@@jessedrifts you should be getting four Quarts in a drain you can count how many quarts you take out. Very simple to do that just by using a funnel and letting it drain into an empty oil change container

[@WMAT77LL]

The dipstick how many inches is it from top of the threads?I was thinking of using a matel rod mark or match the dipstick length and use rod as a measuring dipstick instead, does that dipstick touch the bottom of trans? I want to try drain and fill my inlaws 13 patriot

I read that you need to buy a dip stick to check your fluid for Jeep’s that’s what all data says to do and the way you check it is for Hyundai and Kia.

I need help. Advice at least. 2016 6f24 transmission. Had a Po729 code. 2nd or 6th gear incorrect ratio??? Seems to be stuck in gear. 3rd or fourth i am guessing. Drained transmission. seemed like a lot of shavings to me but they were extremely fine shavings, dust even. It has 84,000 miles, so no warranty. was thinking i could try new fluid and filter or some one said trans might have an electric valve bad???? i am lost. i am told filter is extermly hard to get to and a waste of time. still owe on this Lemon. Any Ideas??? Please. Thank you

[@jessedrifts]

Take it to a certified mechanic. You can experiment if you want but I wouldn't because if it doesn't work you're out a transmission on a vehicle you owe on. You can try a fluid change but that's all I'd do

[@jeremiahnyamekye1612]

Hi bro, do the transmission has a filter to be changed.

[@Huff0267]

I was wondering that my self.

[@jessedrifts]

It has a pre-filter but you have to take apart the transmission to get it out. It's more of a filter to prevent big things from getting in there. Not necessary to change unless you had dirt or contaminated fluid get in there

[@jonathanromero8639]

Im pretty sure u have to replace the filter and gasket by dropping the pan on the transmission...thats the part I didnt see in the video.

[@jessedrifts]

No you don't. The transmission filter is a pre-filter. The micron size is bigger than the clutch material size in micron so it won't collect the clutch material. If you do that you need to take it to the dealer unless you know what you're doing.

[@johnnyrnelson]

So did it take 4qts or 5qts? Thanks

[@rustyshackleford054]

Do you just check the fluid level at the fill location or is there another place? A guy in another video looked like he put the dipstick somewhere else.

[@jessedrifts]

There is no dipstick on this......

[@rustyshackleford054]

@@jessedrifts I realize that... but there is a special dipstick that you can buy and use to check the level..I was asking where it goes. But thanks so much for the help 👍

[@jessedrifts]

If you buy the one it goes in the back of the case of the transmission. Right above the axles almost touching the firewall. You cannot see it and the only way to reach it is to reach your hand around under the car forward above the steering rack and find the bolt. FCA discontinued this method for good reason. You have to use a long fill tube from the engine bay to get to it. And the fluid level is dependant on the temperature. At that point if you don't want to do it the way I showed you should take it to a dealer or otherwise as assumed at your own risk. *This video is for entertainment purposes only*

so it takes 4 quarts instead of 5??,i drain 3 but the hannes book states that it takes 5 quarts.And my dumbass spilled alot so i put 5 quarts.i already drove 100 miles and i got no shaking or hessitation while driving.Just wish jeep made the patriot/compass with a dipstick,like my ford fusion,that one has the 6F35 and it takes 5 quarts.

[@dareptile2653]

When I search for tranny fluid I keep getting search results for Mopar ATF-4. Is this amsoil the other I've been reading about ATF SP-IV? I got the 6F24 I'm just confused if I should get the ATF-4 type or not. I can't tell which is "newer" only that SP-IV has a lower viscosity. 2nd Question did you say at the end of video you wait a week of driving and repeat? I'm guessing to get a majority of the "old" fluid out?

[@dareptile2653]

For example I'm seeing this.. the price is more attractive compared to Hyundai OEM or Amsoil Signature www.amazon.com/dp/B00BV4D182/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_C5VSTF31AZQMJHDXAEEA

[@jessedrifts]

Chrysler ATF+4*, MOPAR* ASRC, 68089195AA, 68049954AA This is what Chrysler and Mopar specs it meets and exceeds. If price is your issue, amsoil is not for you. It's above the standard for protection.

[@jessedrifts]

Answer to question number 2 is yes

[@dareptile2653]

@@jessedrifts I can afford it, can't help but notice the cost difference AT+4 vs SP-4. All the sources I'm finding say the fluid should be ATF SP-4 which is why they pointed you to the Amsoil I'm guessing by reading the back of it I can see it mentions SP-4. Any of the SP4 rated ones seem to avg 25/Quart. I might just look at my fluid and see if the condition is fine, because I just got this and have been doing maintenance just for fun. For all I know there is new fluid in there but I doubt it. I got 156k miles.

How can I know If my 2014 jeep patriot has CVT or 6f24 tranny? Thank you in advance

[@kenhawkins6641]

Give a Chrysler dealer the last 8 digits of your VIN and they can tell you what transmission you have. I think 2.0L has CVT. The 2.4L has the non CVT.

[@EGL24Xx]

Drive your car. If you accelerate with zero shifting, then it's a CVT. If the car shifts automatically as you speed up, it's not a CVT. The non CVT transmission in this car is NOT subtle. You will feel it and you can watch the revs drop

[@regryan8044]

Great video 👌👌

[@akasunanoraul1214]

does this car come with a filter in the transmision?

[@jessedrifts]

Yes but you have to take apart the valve body to get to it. Not worth it in my opinion. Unless you are having a mechanic do the work and it's a low mile car like under 100k milss

[@Raw-guitar]

I have a Jeep Patriot 2016.. Sometimes i cant shift the gear, until i push the clutch back and forth like 5 times.. The gears kinda stick sometimes when i try to shift.. Do you think i should change the transmission fluid, or is my clutch going bad? I got 100,000miles on it.

I just changed out the thermostats on my niece's Jeep Patriot (ran hot till she turned the heater on full blast) and while I had all of that out of the way I looked for the trans. dipstick and of course couldn't find it.Did your test drive afterwards get the fluid down where you could add the other 2 qts? I'd like to do this for her but I don't want to screw up the transmission in doing so.....

[@jessedrifts]

You won't ever get the other 2 quarts in unless you use a fluid machine to suck the 2 quarts out of the torque converter. I am still driving my jeep around right now and it has no issues doing what I did in this video. Just take your time. I was nervous also before I did this. I did the research so you don't have to.

[@jessedrifts]

Also I did this twice to do the fluid exchange so more of the new fluid is in it. You could do it 3 times if you wanted and it would for sure be all new fluid.

[@tonyjordan1320]

@@jessedrifts OK, so the drain & fill is only 3 qts. then, right? I have 2 civics that I do a drain & fill every 25-30 thousand miles 3 times about a week apart to keep the trans running smooth but they also have a dipstick so you can check the level afterwards.
