Hi,
Yesterday I changed the filter of the transmission of my 2010 JKU. I did it on level ground and everything went well.
Everything I read about the how toos said it would tak 4 qts to re fill the pan. Mine actually took 6 to reach the upper marks with the engine running in neutral for about 10 minutes. I'm worried, and really don't want to over fill it. I've checked, double and triple checked it and it seems to be where it needs to be. The level was correct when I started the process. Is 6 quarts out of the question?
Thanks in advance all replys.

 

You need to check the level running in neutral. And should be at the bottom of the cross hatches when the fluid is cold

 

I did all my work on level ground. On my dips tickets I have two holes on it for checking it when it's cold and two more for where it should be at 180 degrees.
After running the engine for ten minutes with the transmission in neutral, I finally got the fluid at the top 180 degree holes after the 6th quart.

 

You need to DRIVE 15 miles to warm up transmission oil and then performe the level check.

 

How much did you drain out?

 

I'm not totally sure,. Where I put the drain pan and where the fluid came out were two different places....lol
I didn't measure what i did collect although I probably should have.

 

Hot or Cold.. If it is reading anywhere on the cross hatches you'll be just fine...

 

I don't have cross hatches. Four holes.....two on bottom for cold readings and two more a little higher up the dip stick for hotter temps.

 

Here is a picture of where the fluid level should be at various temperatures, ('07 to '11 42RLE).
You can check the temp with an infrared temp gun pointed at the front of the pan.

If you have driven it for 5 or so miles, it will be warm enough to check. Actually, anywhere between the sets of holes will be fine if you are not able to measure the temperature.

 

Oh, ok.....I thought that at normal operating temps, the fluid had to be between the two top holes.
