- This video will show you how to replace the transmission filter and fluid in a Dodge Journey with the 62TE automatic transmission. This should cover the 2009-2020 Dodge Journeys and also the 2011-2015 Fiat Freemont. This same transmission was also used in various years of the Chrysler Town & Country as well so the procedure should be very similar. Listed below are links to the filter and fluid and also the aftermarket dipstick as well.

Awesome video. I wish I watched this before I dropped ours off at the dealership. Lesson learned. Subscribed
Good stuff. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this. These kind of videos help countless people.
Excellent video, no dead spot we see everything!😊
Very nice tip on measuring the fluids
Thank you so much! Excellent demonstration!
Nice video very informative without going over the top
Great video very clear views and to the point. EXCELLENT
Well done. I didn't know you could get a gasket, I didn't want to use RTV. I'm doing this in the spring now. I heard you can use the oil dipstick and measure it about 2" (if memory serves). There is a video out there that shows that being used.
Thank you brother...I like the way you work...diligent.
Awesome, nice and simple to understand 👍
Thanks for this. Perfectly straight forward video
Excellent video! Very informative 😊
Excellent video, thanks you...
Well done sir! Thank you.
I just changed the rocker arms on my 2015 3.6 it's alot easier than alot of people think. If you have that dreaded tick take care of it right away. I was dumb and waited and it eventually turned into a very loud tick when I would accelerate. And 3 rocker arms were bad and one ate Into my cam lobe.
Yep the 3.6 pentastar engine are notorious for rocker arm noise luckily my daughters Chrysler 300 hasn’t had any issues yet.
*a lot 😂
Thanks for your information 👍
Great video! Thank you
Thank you very detailed and easy to understand. Big help bud
Great video!! Almost makes me feel like I can do this myself but I don't have that torque wrench or stands. I guess I'll let someone else do it
Thank you. You don’t have to use a torque wrench you can just tighten them by hand with a socket wrench and shouldn’t have any issues. You also may be able to do this without jacking it up if you have enough ground clearance.
I have.a 2917, 4 banger, and procedure for tranny fluid change is about the same. I changed my fluid at 40,000 earlier than recommended. My 4 banger came with a dip stick. Most of the recommended maintenance intervals seem too far apart. I use synthetic motor oil as i get about 1.5 mpg improvement.

Thanks man you did a great job 👍🏼🤝🤝
Looks like I'm changing my 2014 journey trans fluid luckily mine came with a dipstick
Very nice, excellent video.
Much appreciated great help indeed
Excellent video thank you kindly.
I have a 2012 dodge journey crew and everytime the air compressor or aeem like fan in winter i get a Battery saver mode that will come up under messages and i will shut my radio off sometimes also... Any ideas Thanks so much
Is there a pan you can get with a drain plug like I did on my 95 zj? I'm about to take my 3.6 2018 awd journey in for 60k (m at 65k now)service (just cause Temps just hit 30s). Was only going to do transfer case and rear diff. I'll do trans myself in the spring.
My 19 is the 4 speed thank goodness it has a dipstick
Good to see i can get my hand in there ..
Great video
what did the dash say when you were shifting the gears.. I had my dodge since 2019 and I’m still recognizing this thing talks
I didn’t see the temperature sensor, is it not in the pan?
شكرا جزيلا استاذ فيديو رائع وسهل
Great job
Could this get rid of a transmission whining?
I have a 2010 Journey r/t 2.7L Flexfuel (dohc 24v)
Will this be the same?
Did the gasket hold up ?
How many liters did u end up with
Thanks. Not much info out there about Flexfuel. Spec here in sweden
To all it may concern, dont waist money buying the dorman dip stick.Instead take your oil dip stick and measure from the bottom up 2 1/16" draw a line with a Sharpie that line is your new transmission full line keeping your tranny fluid between the just be low the top of the full oil line and your sharpie line is your safe mark for the tranny. Again 2 -1/16 from the bottom of the oil dip stick up is your new tranny full line. I knotched mine by just nicking the stick with a drummel you can even just use a Sharp punch and put a small dot there, and yes you can buy a new pan with the drain plug.For the record for a dirty as that fluid was I think you may have waisted your money on the new fluid and filter...
M8 pls how long is 2 1/16 in centimeters
@@armaz83 Bro, Google is pretty smart...
52.39 mm

Thank you
I appreciate the efforts that you put in the making of the video. I have a Dodge Journey 3.6. It is making an abnormal noise when the engine is idling. I can't figure if the noise is from engine or transmission. And, the vehicle is not moving even if gear is in D.
Hey Same and Same! XD
I'm having same issue. Have either of you figured it out?
@@brettanderson6965 Yeah unfortunately I had to overhaul the transmission at a local garage. And it did cost me about $3000.
Now at least I know to hold the pan before I pull the last bolt during draining 😂
🤣 yep
Im gonna try this, so far dealership is saying I need a new transmission. But hoping it’s just this. They did fluid and filter change.
They never did*
An even better way to hold the gasket in place is wire ties. Two or three. Cut them after starting a few bolts.
Very well explained thank you God bless.
Would a transmission filter and fluid change help a Journey 3.6 with low line pressure (P0868) and prolonged high pressure (P1745)? Also, currently in limp mode as well.
How old it the transmission and how many miles is on it? Have you noticed any drips on the ground or signs that it’s leaking? When was the last time the fluid and filter was replaced? Does yours have the dipstick to where you can check the level? A filter and fluid change is probably where I would start if your fluid level is good that will be your cheapest option at the moment. I’m wandering if your filter screen is clogged creating low pressure. If not you may have an issue with the pump.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE este código p0868 podría ser provocado por un sensor de presión de aceite de transmisión y al cambiarlo podría borrarse y corregir ese código?
@Jose Enrique Medina I had that code and it was from a low level.
My transmission in my 17 journey will.drive okay for a min then wont shift at all can it be because the filter is dirty
Have you noticed any leaks or anything coming from the transmission could be low on fluid. How many miles is on it? Is there anything else that could be affecting it like transfer case or differential locking up? Is your check engine light on?
You said to go trhrough the gears "several Times". Is several times, 10 times,? I want to make sure that I go through the gears enought times. Thank you
Three to four times and you’ll be good.
Very good tutorial .
Congrats . I'm gonna do it soon on my 2013 journey sxt . I hope its the same 🤞
Thats my model fluid all over driveway! It was brown i now see it is red
I have a 2012 sxt and it's starting to leak a lot
Of trans fluid. Is it the same or did you try it yet ?
Do u have video how to fix P076A? SHIFT SOLENOID H
Did you get it fixed I'm only wondering because I have the same code right now and I'm about to start with changing the tcm
I have a question, when you check the oil level of the Journey, should the truck be turned off or on and already at temperature?
It should be running and in park when checking. Also needs to be driven before hand to get the transmission hot.
And on level ground
The vehicle and trans should be hot along with it on a level surface and with the trans in neutral to check it accurately. There’s a graph you can reference if you want to check it at a cooler temperature if day after the servicing. Just let it run for a few minutes after starting it and shifting it throughout the gears before leaving it in neutral.
My 2014 Dodge Journey after a trip started skipping now does not shift gears can it be because has no transmission fluid or is my transmission really damage need so advice help Thank you in advance.
Could be that your transmission fluid is low or transmission fluid is old and needs replaced. How many miles is on the car? What is the transmission fluid temperature running at? Do you notice any fluid leaks around the transmission?
150204miles and temp was 89 turn it on today and it did shift to drive and reverse
@@Nancy-bw6te I would definitely check your transmission fluid in case it’s overheating but to do that you’ll have to take it to the dealer or purchase the aftermarket dipstick and follow the video I did on how to use it. You may want to also look at your rear differential if it’s an awd model to make sure it’s not leaking any gear oil because I’ve seen where the rear end looses fluid and then overheats making the rear end lock up not allowing the vehicle to move.
Thank you I appreciated your help.
Should I do a transmission fluid/filter change, it has 189k miles and I don't know if previous owner ever did it? 2015 Journey RT
Are you having any issues with the transmission?
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE No I was just curious if I should change it or take Scott Kilmer video advice and not mess with it
Why do I feel a hard kick downshift when I come to a full stop ?? Is it possible that the oil and filter needs to be changed?
It is possible could also be low on fluid what year is yours? Because the earlier years had a dipstick so you may want to check the level first and if not try the filter and fluid change. How many miles is on it?
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE Mine is a 2017 with 106k miles, it drives great on highway but when I come to a full stop I can feel that hard downshift kick.
Can you start it with the pan & filter off to get all the fluid out?
No you don’t want to do this unless you have fluid coming in as well because you don’t want to run the pump dry.
I’m about to do this on my journey and was wondering where you got the magnet from??
Are you talking about the magnet in the pan? If so it’s already in there you just need to pull it off and clean it up and stick it back in the same place.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE thanks so much, super easy to follow your video!
@@xChikox thanks I appreciate it. Let me know if you run into any issues or have anymore questions.
The magnet should already be In your pan, it's there to catch metal shavings from the transmission
I have 150k on my 2013 rt and when I hit 40mph I can floor it and not get much accel, but it is still peppy until then. Think this change could help me out before I spend the $ on doing it?
The transmission should be down shifting to get more power. Is it not down shifting when you floor it?
No its almost like it is skipping 4th or 5th gear and going straight to 6th. If I use the manual mode it shifts thru all gears just fine
My journey is doing this exact thing. Did you find out what was causing it?
Any answers to this, my journey is doing this exact thing.
Filter link keeps sending me to an output shaft seal
Sorry about that this is the one you want I’ll have to change that.
amzn.to/3QiBg3q
how many miles did it have on it when u did this ? was there any slippage beforehand
It had I think about 88k no slippage it was just leaking from the factory rtv sealant around the pan.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE good deal I'm at 82,000 rn , thanks for the reply hope all is well.
Nice work
But better use mopar atf +4
Based on the beginning of the video "that just made a big mess" I'm gonna say you spilled more than 1/4qrt lol
Yep 😂
Did you do this repair due to a hard transmission shift?
No I replaced it due to the original pan gasket leaking.
what if the tranmission temperature is at like 143?
That’s fine just go off the chart for where the level should be at for 143 degrees on the dipstick. Normal operating temperature for the transmission should be around 170 degrees.
What if it’s in park to warm up and the transmission temp is only between 115 or 112 and then when driving it’s at 130 barely is that bad or good
I have a 2018 due for a flush. Cost $599.00 what do you recommend?
Sanbernardino ❤
I don’t recommend a flush and a lot of manufacturers dont recommend it because a flush can free up a lot of contaminants clogging ports. Just doing a drain and refill plus filter change won’t cause that.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE thank you for letting me know.
Was there a reason you decided to perform this? Were you experiencing any transmission issues. Trying to figure out what I can do for mine issue.
Transmission was jerking at times plus it had never been serviced and it had a little over 80k.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE Thank you for replying. This aligns with my symptoms as well. Awesome guide BTW!!!
I have a 2013 journey,I have the jerking as well,after you changed the filter etc.have you has the jerking stopped?
@@richardgonzales2385 haven't done it yet. Planning on though in the next 5k miles
Dealer charging me 450
I’m still under warranty
Should I attempt to do it ?
You will definitely save some money doing it yourself and it’s not very hard to do.
Does The trans filter t25 screws need to be torqued?
What is the reason for the leaking ???
Factory gasket maker they used failed and started leaking.
easiest car iv ever worked on
You clearly lack experience what have you only worked on one vehicle. and a push mower
Where can I buy a dipstick
Check out the description of the video I provided a link to the dorman dipstick that I used in the video on Amazon.
Or you can use this link amzn.to/3Owdksp
👍🏽
Why does the Internet say 9 quarts of transmission fluid well to be exact 9.5 words of transmission
That is the total quarts it would take if it was dry or brand new, when you do just a pan drop and filter change there’s still a lot of fluid that stays in the transmission.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE would you know how to get all of it out because I need to haven’t changed my transmission fluid in like two years
@@christopherlong5270 only way to get it all out would be to have a shop do a flush on it but most manufacturers don’t recommend that. Your best bet would be to do a drain and filter change fill with new fluid and run it for a day or two then do just a drain and refill with new fluid that should get most of the old out and fresh fluid through the whole system.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE I appreciate that. Thank you for the advice.
Add rtv silicon
Famous last words of a diy mechanic "that should be good"
Дякую
Wanna do mine now? ...
Thanks for the great video. And thank you for not being Scotty Kilmar.
Why only talk about "quartz".
We in Europe needs to hear liters 😉
its 40-52 so your average should be 46
Kinda wish it wasn't inside the pan 😑
The good thing is that it’s pretty easy to get to unlike some vehicles.
It’s going to leak again. Rtv better.
How much quarts you put on total sir? 5.5? Or 4.5? Thanks!
That is not the correct flushing method. That transmission contains about 9 cuarts of ATF. The changing of filter he did is ok
First of all I didn’t do a flush I did a drain and refill with a filter replacement. 2nd 9 qts is the total capacity of the transmission if it was bone dry. 3rd when you just do a drain and filter replacement you don’t get all the fluid out of the transmission plus you have different variables such as how long you let the transmission drip into the drain pan and temperature of the fluid when your draining it because atf expands with heat. 4th that’s why you always measure how much came out initially so you don’t overfill it and use a dipstick and the temperature chart provided with it. 5th so the amount of atf I put back in was correct.
Thanks, good questions….. that all is my Understanding of Journey ATF REPLACING
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE oops, Thank you… good.I have 2015 Journey /4 Cyl, @95,000 mi.
Omg I wish mine came off so easily shit had globs of silicone sealant and a gasket straight pain in the you know what lol great video champ 🫡
