Aisin fliud change at 30K on a 2017?

[AH64ID]

I ran the MH on my 05 but don't feel the need on my 18. These axles just don't have heat related issues, especially with good gear lube.

have you seen the gale banks videos on maghytec covers?

That was just an "I love me" video after you watch the whole series. He never actually proved anything.

I also recommend changing the rear axle (or both if you frequently use 4WD) at 20K miles if you tow anything! The rear ends don't hold much oil and there's a lot of heat generated there. I am using Valvoline 75W-90 Full synthetic gear lube as its much cheaper and meets the Chrysler spec for the rear end. I also added the Mag-Hytec rear axle cover that increases oil capacity to 7-8 quarts.

Me too on the Valvoline 75W90 except for the Mag Hytec... no rear cover on my differential. Mine holds a tad more too.

You'd have to find a salesman, a politician, or a lawyer to repeat Gales claims with a straight face

Hey guys just did the 30k drain. Measured 6.5 qts. Filled the same. When checking the level is it done hot engine running and in neutral?

 

[Learjet]

no...its in your manual

couldn't find it.

section: "maintaining your vehicle"... "Automatic Transmission".

"for 6 speed transmission":

1. Monitor the transmission temperature using the instrument
cluster display, and operate the vehicle as required
to reach the normal operating temperature. If the transmission
is not functioning properly, or the vehicle
cannot be driven, see the NOTE and CAUTION below
about checking the fluid level at colder temperatures.
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.
3. Run the engine at normal idle speed for at least 60
seconds, and leave the engine running for the rest of this
procedure.
4. Fully apply the parking brake, and press the brake
pedal.
5. Place the gear selector momentarily into each gear
position (allowing time for the transmission to fully
engage in each position), ending with the transmission
in PARK.
6. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it until
seated.
7. Remove the dipstick again and note the fluid level on
both sides. The fluid level reading is only valid if there
is a solid coating of oil on both sides of the dipstick.
Note that the holes in the dipstick will be full of fluid if
the actual level is at or above the hole. The fluid level
should be between the “HOT” (upper) reference holes
on the dipstick at normal operating temperature. If the
fluid level is low, add fluid through the dipstick tube to
bring it to the proper level. Do not overfill. Use ONLY
the specified fluid (see Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine
Parts for fluid specifications). After adding any quantity
of oil through the dipstick tube, wait a minimum of
two minutes for the oil to fully drain into the transmission
before rechecking the fluid level.

Thanks Learjet.
