How do I know what type of Dodge transmission fluid I should use?

Answer by  allyg (7)

Use ONLY what it says in your owner's manual. Many Chrysler transmissions are NOT compatible with standard fluid! If you can not find the owner's manual you should contact a dealer that may have your same car model compare their transmission fluid. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT and very misunderstood issue.

In general a repair like this isn't easy for someone considers themselves a "novice". If you consider yourself this, you should consult your user manual or call your local mechanic.

I'm not sure either, but you can find that information in the service and maintenance section of your owner's manual, or you could ask at your local Chrysler/Dodge dealership, or at most auto parts stores.

It has a owner's manual book if you don't have one, go to the auto part store to get a manual. Most dodge transmissions are not compatible with regular fluids.
