What do I need???

[HDhillon]

I'm planning on changing my transmission (48re) oil on my own. What kind of oil do you guys recommend? What else do I need to do the job?

48re

I use only Mopar atf+4 fluid.

The Mopar ATF+4 is the only oil that DC will accept for warranty reasons. It took 6 quarts, when I did mine, I bought 2 gallons to have some on hand when I was done. It is cheaper in the gallon jugs as well.

I bought a new filter and 3 gallons of the atf+4 from the dealer. I used a large shallow storage tub to catch all the fluid that leaks around the edges when you loosen the bolts that hold the pan on. 6 quarts came out of mine, I put on a deep pan when I changed it so I put more back in but you should be fine if you buy 2 gallons. The filter is help on by two small headed bolts, so you will need a 1/4" socket set with a extension to reach the bolts and change the filter.
