Hello,
I am taking my '06 TJ with auto transmission for service this week to have the tranny, differential and t-case fluids changed. I was reading my owner's manual and online about the Mopar ATF+4 fluid and apparently this fluid is considered a "Fill for Life" fluid by Chrysler. Until I bought my 2016 Ram 1500, I had not heard of a fill for life tranny fluid, but there is no recommended change interval for my truck. I just wouldn't have thought that a vehicle from 2006 would say the same. My TJ has 48,000 miles and I am the third owner, so I assume the fluid has not been changed. I read numerous posts on this forum where someone is changing their tranny fluid. So is this just individual preference or do you think it should be done? I have always considered the factory owner's manual to be the accurate source for maintenance schedules.
