I don't mean to sound dramatic but I searched through and watched several videos on this procedure and none of them left me feeling confident until I came across this one. I am so glad you took the time to make this video as well as how thorough you were with your explanations. this is something I gladly would of paid to learn. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from me. thank you so much
Nice. I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot Sport D (the basic of basic models). I took it to the Jeep dealership who lied to me and said the transmission was completely sealed and there was no way to ever change the fluid. Several mechanics later and they could not figure anything out. One mechanic actually said they managed to find the transmission fluid "dipstick" of which there is none. And then, after having to deal with Google's idiocy of "personalized search results" that almost never, EVER gives relevant search results... I stumbled across this video just today. All those professionals, Jeep mechanics, etc... none could figure it out. Personally I think they were just lazy and knew how difficult the job was and simply did not want to earn some money on a difficult job. As a side note, mechanics (and other professions) are - by Supreme Court decision - allowed to lie to you to sell you parts you do not need... as long as they are not being paid by a third-party to do so. The reasoning being that certain Supreme Court Justices reason that you - as a consumer - are savvy enough to know whether or not you need said part.
I'm a mech. Mostly work on semi's but I also do work on small cars and trucks as well. Despite @troyherriman's critique I think this was a decent vid. He told us at the beginning that he was figuring it out as he went because he was told, not that it was sealed, but that you did not have to change it which you don't. That is why there's no dipstick and the fill and drain ports are positioned like they are. The only reason these ports are intended to be used is if the dealership or another shop has to "replace" a damaged transmission with a new one. That being said the video was informative and decent. Dealership mechs are what they are; Dealership mechs. They only learn what the manufacturer trains them on for that particular model. If the manual says you don't change then that's what they know. It's not that they're lying to you because that makes no sense from a mech standpoint. In other words he/she is not going to turn your money down on an unnecessary procedure. He/she is just going to charge you for it. A dealership mech will not change transmission fluid if the manual says you don't change it because to change it is against the recommended manufacturer manual and the dealership will be held liable if something happens once you leave. Plus the fact that since you don't change it there's no book hour scale for the job to charge you by. A non-deakership shop will charge for the procedure cause that's what you wanted and charge for the unnecessary job to make the money. So here's how it works out. Regular tranny with a dipstick and drain plug is 30 min job easy peasy. Book hour minimum is 1hr @ $150- $175 p/h. On this patriot. Taking all the crap off just to get to the tranny, popping the three port plugs, draining and refill, replacing the three port plugs model and then putting all the crap by that you removed to get to it in the first place. 2 1/2 - 3hr jod @ $150-$175 p/h. See where I'm going here?
Your video has been invaluable! I have to do these three lubrication changes on my own jeep patriot and your instructions are extremely helpful. Many thanks to you for putting in the effort to make this video
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Lance Karsyn thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I have been searching for days on info for this Compass Xmission. I discovered the garage WAY overfilled my unit and it was acting up. I hope when I get the level correct this trans will act normally. Thanks, I am sure you just saved me a pile of cash.
Your video helped me change the trans fluid on my 2014 Compass. I bought the factory dipstick and used Valvoline max life fluid. My OTC scan tool would not show the trans temperature, but my Autel did. the infrared temp gun showed about 10 degrees F less than the scanner. I ondy drained out about 3 quarts, but it took 5.5 quarts to fill. I bought the car new and there were never any leaks so it was underfilled from the factory! Hopefully it did no damage in the 43,000 miles I put on it. What a pain in the A** job just to change trans fluid. Thank you for posting the video.
I believe that you may have done it right but the difference is concerning. Its possible you made a mistake. I would recheck. Measure twice cut once is not just for wood workers!
I just did mine and it only drained 3 Liters. I had also replaced my outer tie rods today. My problem is i am getting a clunking sounding sound when I shift( P, R, N, D(clunk), N, R(clunk), P. I'm stressing lol I followed the directions which actually calls for 4.3 quarts then another quart but i drained 3 liters lol which is what 3.17 quarts?
PSA, easiest way to do this is normal Hyundai method then top off with 700ml extra. It's from a patriot service bulletin. Empty fluid, refill, get transmission to operating temp, flat level surface, put in park, neutral, drive reverse for 2 sec each, then do it again. Open full check port and allow extra fluid to flow out while engine is running for 3 min, close port, then top off with 700ml. All done, no dipstick needed
Great video and explanation. But boy, what a pain in the butt process to check the fluid level! I'm with the others here... when I do this procedure on my girlfriend's Patriot, I'm just going to re-fill the trans with the exact amount that was drained out and call it a day. I can understand if the vehicle was bought second hand and you are unsure of if it has been serviced before, you would want to be positive that the level is correct. However, in our case, she bought the Jeep new and it still shifts pretty good with 68k on the factory fill. So... assuming Chrysler got it right from the factory, there should be no problem re-filling with the amount of fluid drained.
I did buy the special dip stick from Amazon but I filled transmission threw the ck port only & I used a long funnel with a toob & did not remove anything just the ck port you do have to warm up transmission of course it was not bad at all took me less than an hour.
I just did a drain and fill on a cold block on my 15 compass with the six speed 6F24 powertech transmission, and 77k on the clock. I put what came out into a clean gallon jug, and just poured new fluid in another gallon jug and matched the levels. The valvoline maxlife LV fluid is what I used, and now it shifts a lot smoother, and the shudder I used to get going up hills is gone now. I'm still going to buy the special dipstick, and later in the year do two more drain and fills. You have to pour the fluid in the fill port very slowly, and during the fill there were two burps of air releasing out of the case.
How many quarts drained out from yours? I'm about to do this same job on a 2014 with 71k and not sure how much fluid to buy. Glad to hear that MaxLife is serving you well!
@@surfordie82 It was just at 4.5 quarts. The most difficult part was taking out the battery to access the fill port, but on my next drain and fill I'm going to see if a flexible tube can be snaked under the battery tray which would make the job a whole lot easier.
@@richardwrynn824 The hardest part for me was trying to add the new trans fluid with a traditional funnel. Had to add very slowly and then wait for the air bubbles to burp out each time I poured. Next time, I am going to use a fluid pump, like you would to fill a manual gearbox or differential.
I think also a Chrysler transmission dipstick #1017 is the same. I have a 14 compass with the hyundai sourced 6F24 6 speed auto dual clutch transmission, have looked into doing a fluid drain and fill as well. Most Chrysler techs don't even know how to perform this service, and since as they like to say the unit is "sealed" they don't like to touch it. Now that I can see where the check port is I will plan on doing this. Have fun if you ever try a radiator flush on the patriot...you have to take the front bumper off to drain the radiator. Blame the poor design on the germans since the car was developed when Daimler owned Chrysler.
Brian this is what most shops do and what my shops always do ... if no leaks are preeent you are to replace exactly the amount that it to come out !! Every single time buddy . You go off the refill capacity amount listed by the manufacturer and you see how close that amount is to what was drained out . There yoU have it !! All that extra stuff isn’t needed
It's funny how people say just put the same amount that came out back in..😆 what if the transmission was half empty.. transmission fluid does get hot it does evaporate and half the time it's never full... Most the time people don't even service the transmission... Which means fluid level is more than likely going to be off
@briankirchmeyer4557 that's a lot of mental gymnastics there. If it operating normally and no leaks are present, it makes perfect sense to just replace what you've removed.

This is a very easy procedure for fluid change for a modern transmission. Give a Mercedes M-Class; 7 speed auto a fluid change and then you can complain. You have to fill thru the drain port.
The cylinder shaped filter that is located at the top of the transmission under the battery in the 2015 model, I heard it called a cooling cartridge filter for the transmission fluid. But I am not sure but I noticed for the 2014 patriot that the transmission is not the same shape and I do not see anyone changing the top filter so I was thinking there wasn't one. But I seen a comment on another video where someone was saying the filter for the transmission is located inside the valve body for these 2014 patriots and that it wasnt worth changing.
@@Elmoloves i understand now. If you have the 6 speed automatic and not the CVT transmission then your filter is inside the transmission housing behind the relatively large plastic oil pan which is not mounted in a traditional horizontal but rather vertical position. It is the black plastic cover on the front of the transmission.
Great video man! Quick question, where is the transmission filter located? I purchased a used transmission from LKQ and had my mechanic install it. He claims that he and his partner looked for the filter but could not located the filter. Im just worried that it wasn't installed right by my mechanic and just added fluid
I have a 2014 2.4L 4x4 jeep patriot latitude with the 5 speed manual transmission. Im getting a whinning noise when in gear and accelerating. Also when in neutral and not moving without the clutch engaged it is making the noise. When im at a stop in neutral and then engage the clutch the noise stops? What is the problem? The input shaft bearing? The output bearing? Or something else? Please help me
Is this for the CVT or a geared automatic? I don't remember you saying what transmission this was for. On a different note whoever told you that for standard driving you don't have to change the fluid is smoking crack. For the CVT the service intervals on their fluid is either 60,000 miles or 120,000 miles, depending on if it is severe use or not.
Its a 6 speed geared auto. Its recommended service interval is 120k. Or never as the author explained. No crack needed. :-) BTW: The Haynes manual says 100K, but they are being cautious.
If you pull off the side cover where the rubber seal hole is located on the transmission there is actually a mesh screen filter that should be changed every few fluid changes too. I saw this on a Hyundai video with the same junky engineered German transmission. First Mercedes after buying Chrysler forced their sealed German transmissions, this one included on Chrysler then Fiat after buying Chrysler makes the same mistake using ZF German transmissions that have had many problems and hard to service too. By the way all the major German automakers, Hyundai, Kia and yes now Honda are all using the ZF automatic transmissions and all are having problems with them. So much for Honda quality.
Considering that the transmission is supposedly filled for life, i think a drain and fill is sufficient. I wouldn't change the filter every time. If I drain and the old fluid looks horrible I might consider changing the filter but not every time.
@@HeikosGarage I have 178k on my 16 high altitude. Lmao. Dealership shop main guys said I made it way past the 120k mark, I'm probably golden. Runs like a top. I drove around town asking what fluid goes in it. Autozone girls pointed me to the motor oil. Napa tried to sell me ATF+4 and I continued questioning and they said ATF NON CVT
How much fluid does the transmission take? I heard 4.3 quarts and someone else told me 2 gallons which I highly doubt. How much did you add? Thank you,
Wow ridiculous what you have to do just to check the fluid. These were clearly designed to make it as hard has possible for do it yourselfers to work on it. Question, how are you supposed to let it warm up if you had to take the battery out to get to the level checker?
good question. It has been a few years. If you just want to check the fluid level I would just take it for a drive before checking it. IF you do a drain fill just measure the amount that came out and refill with the same amount. Once you are done take it for a drive and then do the check.
I too own a 2014 model too. I have the big 4 cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic and front wheel drive only!! Is this the same 6 speed trans in the front wheel drive patriot? And how much total fluid did you put into the trans? And how is it shifting since you did this?
Hi there, just noticed that you commented and ask me a question. I don't exactly remember how much fluid it was but just drain the old into a bucket that has a scale to give you an idea how much you have to put back. Afterwards you have to get yourself one of those dipsticks (#10323A or #1017). I think in the video I mentioned 4 liters or 4.3 quarts. That is what you put in to start and then you use the factory dipstick to fine tune the level of fluid in your trans. I hope that helps. , Heiko
It has been a while. I don't even have the car anymore. I just re-watched my own video. It is the SP IV rating that is important. The 6speed automatic is used in a bunch of cars including some Korean and Japanese cars. Mopar sells SP-IV rated fluid as well. Much more expensive though.
@@andrewthetool I just checked, yeah you are right, but its not mandatory. it also says to change the filter, which requires a lot more work. BTW, the Haynes manual says 100K, but they seem to error on being cautious. Anyway, make your own video so we can all see the right way! ha ha

Do you have the car idling while checking the fluid level? Or is it turned off
can you add all of the oil through the check port?
Yes, I did.

that sounds about right.
This is a very easy procedure for fluid change for a modern transmission. Give a Mercedes M-Class; 7 speed auto a fluid change and then you can complain. You have to fill thru the drain port.

If you have the 6 speed automatic and not the CVT transmission then your filter is inside the transmission housing behind the relatively large plastic oil pan which is not mounted in a traditional horizontal but rather vertical position. It is the black plastic cover on the front of the transmission.
Great video man! Quick question, where is the transmission filter located? I purchased a used transmission from LKQ and had my mechanic install it. He claims that he and his partner looked for the filter but could not located the filter. Im just worried that it wasn't installed right by my mechanic and just added fluid
The filter is behind the black front cover, the cover that has the big drain plug in it. It is almost in a vertical position.
I have a 2014 2.4L 4x4 jeep patriot latitude with the 5 speed manual transmission. Im getting a whinning noise when in gear and accelerating. Also when in neutral and not moving without the clutch engaged it is making the noise. When im at a stop in neutral and then engage the clutch the noise stops? What is the problem? The input shaft bearing? The output bearing? Or something else? Please help me
Bad bearing and VERY COMMON on the manual trani. Just google it
To get to the 'dipstick' port, why not remove the airbox?
that is an option. Thanks for commenting
the cap at 3:07 what is it called?
Anyway if there’s a transfer case and rear differential fluid change video coming up in the future? 👍
اخوان ممكن اعرف فحص القير وكمية الزيت الموجود فيه واكون شاكرا لكم لو توجد ترجمه
That was kinda the content of the video.
Just curious isn't the transmission in a Jeep Patriot a cvt ?
not all of them have a cvt. This particular was a 6 speed automatic which is much better for this vehicle.
How many quarters o liters do you will needed to service the transmission?
Is this for the CVT or a geared automatic? I don't remember you saying what transmission this was for.
On a different note whoever told you that for standard driving you don't have to change the fluid is smoking crack. For the CVT the service intervals on their fluid is either 60,000 miles or 120,000 miles, depending on if it is severe use or not.
Its a 6 speed geared auto. Its recommended service interval is 120k. Or never as the author explained. No crack needed. :-) BTW: The Haynes manual says 100K, but they are being cautious.
The 6 speed is drain and fill. The CVT has a pan and filter.
6 speed 6F24 automatic transmission
Thanks for the info. Could you see if the nice gentleman renews the above link?
I just updated the link. Greetings, Heiko
If you pull off the side cover where the rubber seal hole is located on the transmission there is actually a mesh screen filter that should be changed every few fluid changes too.
I saw this on a Hyundai video with the same junky engineered German transmission.
First Mercedes after buying Chrysler forced their sealed German transmissions, this one included on Chrysler then Fiat after buying Chrysler makes the same mistake using ZF German transmissions that have had many problems and hard to service too.
By the way all the major German automakers, Hyundai, Kia and yes now Honda are all using the ZF automatic transmissions and all are having problems with them.
So much for Honda quality.
On a 6 speed auto?
Considering that the transmission is supposedly filled for life, i think a drain and fill is sufficient. I wouldn't change the filter every time. If I drain and the old fluid looks horrible I might consider changing the filter but not every time.
So this is not the sport front wheel drive is it?
Right, the author shows the transfer case and rear differential, so its a 4 wheel drive.
I was under impression that the plug on front was fluid check
You might be correct. It has been a long time since I even owned this vehicle. Good luck.
Think ill just measure how much fluid came out and put that much back in 🤷♂️
What if it wasn’t enough smh duh
LOL yeahhh nah. I bought the level but ISSA no for me.
Why not just measure what you drained out and put the same amount back in?
Hindsight is 20-20. You are right but there was a written procedure involving a dipstick. So I went for it.
sorry for my English. What happens if I put CVT transmission oil on this 6F24 transmission? Will the transmission fail?
that is a good question. I don't know what the CVT uses.
brian below is rite measure what comes out put back same amount
Been 4 years. How did things go. Still run good Or problems?
Sold the vehicle 3 years ago. Sorry, I have no new feedback.
@@HeikosGarage I have 178k on my 16 high altitude. Lmao. Dealership shop main guys said I made it way past the 120k mark, I'm probably golden. Runs like a top. I drove around town asking what fluid goes in it. Autozone girls pointed me to the motor oil. Napa tried to sell me ATF+4 and I continued questioning and they said ATF NON CVT
@@HeikosGarage Advance said sp Iv M but didn't have it.
How much fluid does the transmission take? I heard 4.3 quarts and someone else told me 2 gallons which I highly doubt. How much did you add? Thank you,
I do drain fill usually. I just measure how much came out and put the same amount back in.
Can fill all oil form the check point ?
Yes, I did it when I serviced mine. That eliminates the need to remove the battery & tray.
thanks!
How many liters of oil does the transmission need in the Jeep Patriot
In the 6 speed automatic it takes roughly 5 liters but you have to fine tune the fluid level with a factory tool (dipstick).
If you have a dip stick tube can you just fill it from there? So im not removing the battery and tray?
This particular transmission doesn't have a dipstick. They say it is filled for live and never needs a change.
Wow ridiculous what you have to do just to check the fluid. These were clearly designed to make it as hard has possible for do it yourselfers to work on it. Question, how are you supposed to let it warm up if you had to take the battery out to get to the level checker?
You must have skipped the part of the video where he showed he replaced the battery and the filler plug and checker plug are in different locations.
I have 90k on my 2015 pat and have never changed the rear diff, transfer case or transmission fluid , do I have to ?
I would. But that is a personal choice. The manufacturer calls those lifetime filled.
@@HeikosGarage The 2014 owner's manual calls for 6 speed 6F24 transmission fluid to be changed at 120,000 miles or 12 years, whichever comes first.
Approximately how long was the car on in order for the trans fluid to get to the desired temperature to add more fluid? Thanks
good question. It has been a few years. If you just want to check the fluid level I would just take it for a drive before checking it. IF you do a drain fill just measure the amount that came out and refill with the same amount. Once you are done take it for a drive and then do the check.
Heiko's Garage Awesome thanks!
I too own a 2014 model too. I have the big 4 cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic and front wheel drive only!! Is this the same 6 speed trans in the front wheel drive patriot? And how much total fluid did you put into the trans? And how is it shifting since you did this?
I’m in the same shoes as this guy. Can someone answer this please
@@salik3210 See my post, I did drain measure refill, and I got a little over 3 quarts out of it.Put same back ,runs good.
Disaster is correct. whoever thought of the idea for this transmission was off there rocker!
@@rosielesmeister7236 unfortunately they use this and similar trans setups in a bunch of cars.
I must’ve missed something when he checked the trans fluid via the trans dipstick,so where is that or how is that done?
THERE SINT A DIPSTICK ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS
What about on a 2012?
2012 Pats have a CVT transmission.
Thank you very informative and helpful. So it total you used 1 gallon and one quart? Or did you have to add more ?
Sam 7400 don't remember. I just filled until I got the correct ready on my selfmade dipstick.
Sam 7400 have you changed yours yet? If so, how much did yours end up taking?
Hi there, just noticed that you commented and ask me a question. I don't exactly remember how much fluid it was but just drain the old into a bucket that has a scale to give you an idea how much you have to put back. Afterwards you have to get yourself one of those dipsticks (#10323A or #1017). I think in the video I mentioned 4 liters or 4.3 quarts. That is what you put in to start and then you use the factory dipstick to fine tune the level of fluid in your trans. I hope that helps. , Heiko
What tools did you use ?
Check the video description please.
@@HeikosGarage got it thanks - 4 quarts came out 4 quarts went - no dipstick needed
So I have the same transmission. Where would the filter be located?
under the black pan in the front of the transmission. I didn't dare to take it off.
@heiko's garage so is your transmission running ok still on that fluid?
Yes, running fine.
This transmission is 6F24?
yes, correct.
Everything still running good?
After this video I started seeing an f150 So I’m worried :0
Still running and shifting. In the meantime I got an original dipstick to check again.
@@HeikosGarage How much transmission fluid did it fully need?
@@felipemartinez634 sorry, I don't remember.
So 2011 jeep Patriot is different? Great video regardless thank you
russtew1 it depends on the transmission you have in there. I got the 6 speed automatic.
Yes, your 2011 has a 4 speed CVT. It's a completely different transmission than the Hyndai 6 speed that's in the 2014, 2015 Pats.
Did you change the filter also?
Chris Hall I didn't change the filter.
Car manufacturers do not make their own oil. Oil companies do.
That gearbox doesn't have a mercon 5? mmmmmm
It has been a while. I don't even have the car anymore. I just re-watched my own video. It is the SP IV rating that is important. The 6speed automatic is used in a bunch of cars including some Korean and Japanese cars. Mopar sells SP-IV rated fluid as well. Much more expensive though.
Totaly useless to change transmission oil on a 2014 Model car
Why? My 2016 has 110,000 miles right now. Jeep calls for 60 & 120 thousand miles.
I think a fluid change will always have a positive effect on life expectancy of a transmission.
Mine is a 2014 with 6 speed automatic. Maybe you have a CVT.
@@andrewthetool I just checked, yeah you are right, but its not mandatory. it also says to change the filter, which requires a lot more work. BTW, the Haynes manual says 100K, but they seem to error on being cautious. Anyway, make your own video so we can all see the right way! ha ha
