Thanks for the video. I just drained and filled my 2015 Patriot a little more that 5.5 quarts came out. I purchased the Haynes manual and added new 5.5 quarts back used a temp gun and followed the temp range the book said. Also got the dip stick from Amazon thanks for a visual of the process
They do surprisingly well if you show them love. I liked my first one so much that I bought a newer one just like her. My first was a 2013 that I put 200k on, then traded her in for this 2017 in the video.
I used the ck port only ,without removing anything, I drained it & filled it through the ck port only did use the dip stick tool from Amazon, I used valvoline full synthetic transmission fluid, it took about 4 .4 qts
Excellent video I have a 2016 2.4 Patriot, I’m at 137,000 miles and have never changed the transmission fluid or filter, I’m about to do it this weekend, this was very helpful
Talk to a mechanic first. CVT's become finnicky if you haven't serviced them regularly. If you're that far along on the mileage, don't have any current issues and it's never been serviced. Doing a full service and 2 filter change and seal replacement, might damage it at this point. If I were you, I would just add fluid when needed. But I'm not a certified mechanic, just what I've researched taking care of my own vehicles.
@@Kyle-eg1so i agree. Scotty Kilmer said the same thing and along with the mechanic that I take my 2010 Patriot with its CVT Jatco transmission. Leave it alone!
Leave it alone. It's the Jatco transmission which isn't the best. Why you think Chrysler swapped it with the 6F24 Hyundai transmision. Run it to the ground. I was told to not touch mines either by the mechanic I go to, a transmission specialist who told me to turn the car around when inquiring about the transmission oil change and SCOTTY KILMER.
@@Kyle-eg1so correct my wife bought a 2015 2.4 runs great. I don’t think previous owner kept up with trans maintenance.140,000 miles still going. My brother is a trans tech at AAMCO. He told me leave it alone. If we did a flush and filter change. We will just have an $8,000 problem
Just did this. At 100K miles on 2014 Patriot Sport, drained the trans, exactly 4 qts came out. I checked the fluid level before I drained it, the dipstick had no fluid on it ...dry. Must have been low from factory. No leaks at all on trans. Refilled with 5 qts, brought the level up to where it needed to be. I'm happy with that. Note, don't really have to remove the battery tray, just remove belly cover and drain. You can refill through the check port. Easy peasy.
Correct...weep hole drip, replace cover and add 700 ml (24 oz) as this transmission is tilted forward for Patriot install different from Hyundai applications for same transmission.

You might be able to make that way easier use a fluid extractor with graduations on the side. Suck it out from the fill plug the extractor will measure what you took out. Just put back in what you took out. Even if some of the old fluid gets left in there, that's fine. I heard if you don't leave some old fluid in which has friction material in it, the transmission may begin slipping after awhile. A Vevor pneumatic fluid extractor will work.
This was very helpful. I just bought a 2015 compass that has the same transmission. I’m gonna try the AMSOIL ATF and DIY it like you did. I got just under 100,000 miles on mine, but it’s still in good shape. I can just feel every shift. Hoping it helps a little when I service it.
Спасибо автору за полезное видео. К сожалению, очень мало информации об этом автомобиле на русском языке, и ютуб выдал мне в рекомендациях этот ролик.

Just use the check port for filling and checking the fluid, taking all that stuff off to drain in fill transmission the only thing I took off was the belly pan I used a long funnel to fill from the check port
I bought one of those dipsticks for my 15 jeep compass, really couldn't get accurate readings off of it, always read low when it really wasn't. I just drain the fluid cold and refill with the same amount. It's pretty annoying that hyundai didn't make this gearbox serviceable friendly for the diy folks.
I could be wrong, but I think I read somewhere (sorry, I can't remember where) that the transmission is in a different position in the Jeep Patriot vs in a Hyundai vehicle, and that might be why the dipstick doesn't read correctly.
Agreed. Its much easier to just leave the vehicle sitting overnight, and refill the exact same amount that you drain out. I use one of those square, clear plastic Rubbermaid storage containers to catch the old fluid (a smaller one like a 15 qt box).. Then, on level ground, mark the fluid level with a Sharpie at all four corners. After cleaning the container and filling it up with new fluid, I use a fluid pump to transfer the new fluid from the Rubbermaid container to the trans.
Hi, i just recived dipstick for checking fluid level. Just wonder what is the ok fluid level on dipstick? It show some scale from 10-130 on dipstick. Should I check level on warm engine or cold? Thanks in advance for answer.
The transmission should be warmed up to at least 125* F when you check it for an accurate reading. If you search online for a 6f24 transmission fluid chart you will find the correct level based on the temperature. I think it'd between 25-35mm on thr scale but check first since I don't remember off the top of my head right now.
@@REJECT_GARAGEi located the fill ports and everything im really having a hard time finding the check port on the transmission is it the big bolt that you have to remove ?
Wifes patriot 2008, 51k Kilometers.. yup .. trans changed at 12k.. my Nitro, 2 transmissions under dealer/factory warranty before 110k kms.. Service rep at dealership said that there was a problem with low fluid coming from manufacturers.. No reason to disbelieve him as had a 30plus year and approx 30 trucks releationship with that dealership, never had a problem..
Mine was driving and shifting with no problem aside from ac compressor and alternator issues (i found out about the alternator after the ac compressor was replaced yesterday as well when i picked it up) but on my way up there it started to slip out of gear and grinding but after it sat for a while it didn’t (until the transmission was heated im assuming) now i dont think it will go into park… could it just need a trans fluid change? This was so sudden (had the vehicle about 35 days now) but before yesterday there wasn’t any shifting issues or problems gaining speed 🤷🏿
Just to me certain, have you confirmed that your auto is the non-CVT version? Sometimes when those go bad, there isn't much you can do. Any CEL or codes pulled?
I had about 4 quarts come out, but when i opened the check port it would take less than 2.7 to 3 quarts even after starting the vehicle and running through the gears
Curious is your jeep has the tow package and if so where the added oil cooler would go? Just bought a 2016 jeep patriot with this engine and transmission but can't find any info on that aspect of it. Looking through the grill it looks like a big black cooler is attached to the radiator but unsure if that's the cooler it says should be installed or not. Great video by the way
My Mom had hers done at the Dealer. They charged her $290 and were supposed to pull the drain plug and clean it. I did not see any evidence they did anything, although it started to drive way better. I think they sucked it out, maybe through the cooling lines, or they just added fluid. The Splash Shield plastic rivets showed no sign of tampering, the drain plug was like new/dry, and the dusty side panel was not touched either. My skepticism prompted me to jack up the car, remove the splash shield and change the PTU fluid, and RDU fluid myself, and check for evidence of a removed drain. After your video, I will get that dipstick and do it again just to be sure. If the Drain plug has the goop on it, then they scammed her and there will be blood. I do believe these cars have a fluid evaporation problem, as hers drove like it was low on fluid at only 50K miles (Florida Heat).
Interesting experience you had there. I also find myself triple checking others work when I pay for any type of service. They might have just pulled a cooler line or used a vacuum pump from the top of the transmission but who knows, right? If they did it properly though the $290 seems to be about right for dealership pricing unfortunately. At least it drives way better now!
@@REJECT_GARAGE OK, I went in and checked the Fluid. It was turd brown and smelled rank. There was a ton of goop on the magnet. They did not change it. When I drained it, 3.9 quarts came out. When I put 3.9 quarts in, it. At operation temp, It did not read on the dipstick. With 5 quarts, it read where it should be. Never trust a Florida Dealer! Short-Cuts:(1) I bought a 3/4 rubber Heater hose to jam on the Dipstick Grip so I could lower it down(to the check hole) there without taking out the Battery Etc. (2) I traced out where the drain lined up with the splash-shield, and used a door-handle round-saw to cut a little hole in it, so I do not have to take that thing off every time. It drives great again, and after a while I will check the fluid. I think the Hyundai version is not tilted, so it takes a little less fluid. I would definitely change your fluid every 60K Miles, no matter what the manual says.
So if i get this right the revised method says "With the engine running, remove the oil level check plug and capture the fluid that drains out for a total of 3 minutes ." Then if it drains more than 1000ml you can pull the drain plug. You add the fluid through the differential access port plug . So there's no longer a need to remove the battery with that process ?
Can you tell me if the manual says to check the oil level on the dipstick? Because there is information that the level is set differently. Excess oil is drained through the side hole and then 700 ml is added. Thank you
Good call! That’s how to take a great nap that I would never wake up from! 😮 I do run a powerful fan with my garage door open when I need to idle for a moment for a job like this. Solid advice my friend!!
Alright dude I just got Quoted $350 for a transmission change at my local dealership - I have no experience with cars but I’m following your guide here haha
This wasn't too difficult with basic tools and if you are comfortable removing the battery, tray, and air box. Those are probably the hardest parts. Just take your time and go one step at a time. It's a learning experience and it will save you so much money when you don't have to pay a shop for easy maintenance.
Thanks for the vid. It’s annoying the service manual basically tells you to go to the dealer. Is that fluid you’re using compatible? I’ve read that ATF-4 isn’t the same as the OEM MOPAR SP-IV M which is what is required in the service manual. I want to go with higher quality fluid but I can’t determine if ATF-4 is the same thing or not.
ATF-4 is not the same fluid as Mopar SP-4M. The transmission in this video is made by Hyundai. I've used Valvoline MaxLife™ Multi-Vehicle ATF in my Jeep and my son's Hyundai with great success. Do NOT use ATF+4....that is used for the Dodge/Chrysler transmissions such as the 41TE or 62TE typically found in Caravan/Journeys and Town and country. I see so many people go from Premium synthetic oil for their engine and yet skip on AT fluid. Your transmission can in some cases be more costly than your engine. You can get SP-IVM at Hyundai or Kia dealers for about $15 a quart.....you wont need more than 4 or $60 plus tax or a jug of Maxlife ATF which worked fine for me cost about $30. I forgot to mention ATF+4 is only to be used in Manual transmissions....read your owners manual.
ATF-4 is totally different. I went with Amsoil and used the recommended fluid that they suggested for this transmission. I have put a few thousand miles on since the service and it's been absolutely great so far. Good luck! Mopar/Hyundai spec fluid is what you want. I highly suggest seeking out Amsoil if you can. I have a preferred customer account with them and am lucky enough to get next day delivery since they have a warehouse in my city.
@@thisthat5874 in severe service conditions I would suggest every 60k miles. Regular light duty is likely good to about 100-120k. If you do it now you will be in perfect timing and it would be very beneficial.
@@dm19609721 Then why does most Mopar/Chrysler sites I've checked say either one is compatible AT+4 or SP-IV M? This is after I've put in my details on my transmission (6F24) they clearly say "This 'fits'. As for the maxlife they claim to meet only SP-IV last I checked with no mention of the "M" they're now appending, maybe their way of getting more money. From what I understand it is either AT+4 at a minimum or the more expensive SP-IV M. Not sure why if it's used for a manual transmission they would use a name like ATF+4? I'm assuming ATF stands for Automatic transmission fluid right? You may be in error on that.
If shes doing the erky jerky after this job do the throttle body relearn. We did new battery, crank and cam sensors and trans flush. Got the erky jerky after
Just a question about the transmission fluid level that you found at first - Is it supposed to be checked with the engine running and transmission in neutral, or engine off and trans in park? Thanks
What should the dealer dip stick number read after doing a transmission fluid change I checked mine on a flat level surface after doing it and it seems like when my car is off my dipstick is reading about 70 mm when my car is hot my dipstick is reading 70 mm I have a 2017 Jeep Patriot with the CVT transmission 4 cylinder if you could help I would appreciate it and mine does have the little cat you can take off for where a dipstick should go
Me again......How many total quarts did you end up using? I am curious why you didn't drop and clean the pan and change the transmission filter? I have a Compass 2.4L. I need to change the transmission fluid, transfer case and differentials. I had a Grand Cherokee where I changed the transmission filter. I don't really want to do that again.
@@REJECT_GARAGE We definitely need more quality Jeep Patriot videos for those with the drive to DIY. I'm surprised more people in the JPATW facebook group didn't jump on creating videos for a video section.
If you set + 700 ml along the side hole, then there is no oil on the dipstick at all. It is necessary to add another 1.5 - 2 liters. I mean it's not the same.
I dont get how leaving it alone would help if by doing a service on it your adding new filters and fluid instead of just adding fluid with dirty possibly clogged filters just my opinion
I have the 2014 4x4 compass with this transmission - I bought it just last year with 108,000 miles on it and when I had it in the shop for a servicing a few months ago I asked them about the transmission and the diff's and was told that since the transmission was "sealed" (no dipstick") it should be good for the life of the jeep, but Jeep would recommend getting it changed at 192,000 miles. Please tell me that was a joke.
@@Blindowl1234 Thanks! The worst part about buying twice preowned is not knowing what was done, and if it was - when it was done. I'm currently sitting at around 112.5k miles Would you recommend I just bite the bullet and take care of the transmission and dif now or should I just wait till 120k? Mind you the vehicle drives just fine.
@@HaddaClu Jeep even recommends 160,000 miles/192,000 kilometers. I don't get these shops that don't do it. The procedure isn't very complicated especially for a garage. Maybe they're worried about the liability if something happens to get botched? however; that's what insurance if for, right?
@@JB-tz9pi I was recently at another shop getting my cat / exhaust manifold and brakes replaced, and asked this shop might do, and was told once again since its a sealed automatic unit I would only be destroying the transmission, ptu, and differential if I changed the fluids. I guess I'm going to have to pony up and make an appointment with a dealer - checked with my landlord; no fluid changes in the parking lot.
Stomp on the accelerator. Does it shift through gears or does it do some weird stuff trying to be smooth? CVT does not feel like a traditional transmission at all.
Not at all. It’s a good chance to clean the battery terminals also. The fuel mapping will likely go back to default, and you will have to set the clock on the radio. Other than that disconnecting the battery will not cause any harm with the computer.
Question here , does the filter need to be replaced when changing fluid transmission? What happens if I just changed fluid transmission? will affected my vehicle?
@@kingmikey3992 if your specific transmission has a replaceable filter, definitely change it. My 6f24 transmission does not have a replaceable filter so that doesn’t apply to my Jeep.
i got 3 quarts out when cold.The hannes manual states it takes 5 quarts.I just added 5 quarts.I seen other videos where they only add 4 quarts..so whos right?.
What emissivity is your scan tool set at to get an accurate read? I have a cvt but all the videos I've seen that do a fluid change for that don't do it properly with the scanner. Since there's a pan and not just the transmission block I'm not sure what metal to set it to for accuracy. I think it's between .3 - .4 ?
I didn't use a scan tool for temperature reading. I went simple and used my best judgement by using an Infrared thermometer to check the temperature on various parts of the transmission to get a general idea of what the running temperatures were.
I went with the recommendation on the Amsoil website. If it's different now, I'll use the updated on next time. So far so good, I've put on 41k miles since this video was made. I'll do it again in less than 10k miles from now. Thanks.
Another technician to be corrected by me a former Automotive technician. Is that a CVT transmission. If it is you need to change the transmission cooler filter which is in the side of it. Then pull the plug out and drain it and service the other filter underneath the pan. Don't take this the wrong way but it's kind of sounds like you're doing a job half-ass
All three transmissions are possible for a 2016 that is 4x4. If it is a "Trail Rated FD2" then you will have the CVT with a low range feature. If it's a regular 4x4 FD1 then you will either have the 6f24 auto 6 speed or the 5 speed manual.
I just want to literally pour some new fluid in, but i know this will be a HUGE mistake. Once again, i will need to shell out more dough for a simple fluid refill!!!
@@REJECT_GARAGE i seen that the atf max life is also compatiable and thanks!, will do this after i cut off the bottom bolt for my front sway bar links.

@@REJECT_GARAGE first thanks for getting back to me appreciate it but to be clear all late model 2014 thru 2017 when it’s the 2.4 engine are paired with the 6 speed automatic transmission
@@Jesusp898 BMW claims life long trans oil no change needed but yet when you drop the pan the oil is filthy and it does have a filter thats changable . They feed you this crap so you'll be buying a new tranni from them .
why you dont feel fluid in check port????? i have strike on "D" Car drives good. but when i start from d a have strike. then when fluide is about 60 c degree strike is gone.
Preventative maintenence and switching to a preferred fluid that is superior in every way. I want this Jeep to last a lot longer than my 2013 that had thr CVT. That one almost made it to 200k miles. I want this one to make it to 300k miles.
I highly doubt there could be a circumstance where fresh fluid could cause any damage. As long as it's at the proper level and the right kind of fluid then it can only give additional protection and performance.
Yes this is possible, but only on very high mileage fluid. For example, if you ignored flushing your transmission for 160k miles, then drain out sludgy gross fluid and replace with new, it would not be surprising if the transmission broke down shortly after.
You do realize this transmission holds up to 8.6 quartz. You only changed basically 1/3 of the fluid. You have to flush the transmission in order to get all the fluid out. This basically did nothing. Owners manual says it should never need changed except under extreme conditions.
I wouldn't recommend a flush for most situations. But freshening up the fluid every 50k is my plan to keep this transmission lasting a long time in the Mojave Desert. I did notice an improvement I shifting immediately after this service. Also I never trust any fluid to not be changed no matter how good it is. Best of luck my friend.
What is the difference in draining the transmission cold and replacing exactly what you took out? Do you have a videos of changing the transfer case and rear differential?
It's better to run it a little bit to bring the temperature up to where it can be read accurately. Plus it flows out faster/easier when warm and suspends any contaminants to make them easier to remove instead of collecting in spots that might not drain out. Doing it cold is still going to help but it's better to run it to a warmer temperature first. The service manual calls for at least 120* so that to dip stick measures correctly. I would gladly make videos for the transfer case and rear differential, but unfortunately my Patriot is only 2wd so I can't. Best of luck!!
so,,does it really kinda,,,,,make you as a 'consumer' or buyer of the jeep product, that jeep or whoever makes these transmissions , doesn't put in a good old 'old fashioned' DIP STICK for the transmissions? for decades,,,,we've been able to let your auto be 'hot' and even with the engine running, and pull out the TRANSMISSION CHECK DIP STICK to CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL ? ( they save themselves perhaps 10 bucks in the manufacture process,,,,,just to give you, the consumer unending concern about your investment in their product. )

That's kind of rude to say brother. But it's cool, I understand you wouldn't want me to mess up my Jeep, so thank you for that. This is my second Patriot I have owned, my first one (2013) had the CVT and this one (2017) has the 6f24 automatic 6 speed transmission.

After cleaning the container and filling it up with new fluid, I use a fluid pump to transfer the new fluid from the Rubbermaid container to the trans.
Just did it bro thank you 🙏🙏 5 qt and done ✅
Hi, i just recived dipstick for checking fluid level. Just wonder what is the ok fluid level on dipstick? It show some scale from 10-130 on dipstick. Should I check level on warm engine or cold? Thanks in advance for answer.
The transmission should be warmed up to at least 125* F when you check it for an accurate reading. If you search online for a 6f24 transmission fluid chart you will find the correct level based on the temperature. I think it'd between 25-35mm on thr scale but check first since I don't remember off the top of my head right now.
Your dipstick should have come with a scale on the back of the card. If not check online for the scale.
@@REJECT_GARAGEi located the fill ports and everything im really having a hard time finding the check port on the transmission is it the big bolt that you have to remove ?
Dude...awesome vid...
Thank you! I hope it helped.
I want to make more how to videos in the future. I appreciate the encouragement!
@@REJECT_GARAGE for sure dude...
Wifes patriot 2008, 51k Kilometers.. yup .. trans changed at 12k.. my Nitro, 2 transmissions under dealer/factory warranty before 110k kms..
Service rep at dealership said that there was a problem with low fluid coming from manufacturers..
No reason to disbelieve him as had a 30plus year and approx 30 trucks releationship with that dealership, never had a problem..
Mine was driving and shifting with no problem aside from ac compressor and alternator issues (i found out about the alternator after the ac compressor was replaced yesterday as well when i picked it up) but on my way up there it started to slip out of gear and grinding but after it sat for a while it didn’t (until the transmission was heated im assuming) now i dont think it will go into park… could it just need a trans fluid change? This was so sudden (had the vehicle about 35 days now) but before yesterday there wasn’t any shifting issues or problems gaining speed 🤷🏿
Just to me certain, have you confirmed that your auto is the non-CVT version? Sometimes when those go bad, there isn't much you can do. Any CEL or codes pulled?
Just checked its non cvt and there aren’t any dashboard codes I haven’t been able to put a computer on it yet
I had about 4 quarts come out, but when i opened the check port it would take less than 2.7 to 3 quarts even after starting the vehicle and running through the gears
I drained out of the check port and refilled at fill hole on top… Am I in trouble
should probably redo it from the drain bolt
Curious is your jeep has the tow package and if so where the added oil cooler would go?
Just bought a 2016 jeep patriot with this engine and transmission but can't find any info on that aspect of it.
Looking through the grill it looks like a big black cooler is attached to the radiator but unsure if that's the cooler it says should be installed or not.
Great video by the way
My Mom had hers done at the Dealer. They charged her $290 and were supposed to pull the drain plug and clean it. I did not see any evidence they did anything, although it started to drive way better. I think they sucked it out, maybe through the cooling lines, or they just added fluid. The Splash Shield plastic rivets showed no sign of tampering, the drain plug was like new/dry, and the dusty side panel was not touched either. My skepticism prompted me to jack up the car, remove the splash shield and change the PTU fluid, and RDU fluid myself, and check for evidence of a removed drain.
After your video, I will get that dipstick and do it again just to be sure. If the Drain plug has the goop on it, then they scammed her and there will be blood.
I do believe these cars have a fluid evaporation problem, as hers drove like it was low on fluid at only 50K miles (Florida Heat).
Interesting experience you had there. I also find myself triple checking others work when I pay for any type of service. They might have just pulled a cooler line or used a vacuum pump from the top of the transmission but who knows, right? If they did it properly though the $290 seems to be about right for dealership pricing unfortunately. At least it drives way better now!
@@REJECT_GARAGE OK, I went in and checked the Fluid. It was turd brown and smelled rank. There was a ton of goop on the magnet. They did not change it. When I drained it, 3.9 quarts came out. When I put 3.9 quarts in, it. At operation temp, It did not read on the dipstick. With 5 quarts, it read where it should be. Never trust a Florida Dealer! Short-Cuts:(1) I bought a 3/4 rubber Heater hose to jam on the Dipstick Grip so I could lower it down(to the check hole) there without taking out the Battery Etc. (2) I traced out where the drain lined up with the splash-shield, and used a door-handle round-saw to cut a little hole in it, so I do not have to take that thing off every time. It drives great again, and after a while I will check the fluid. I think the Hyundai version is not tilted, so it takes a little less fluid. I would definitely change your fluid every 60K Miles, no matter what the manual says.
So if i get this right the revised method says "With the engine running, remove the oil level check plug and capture the fluid that drains out for a total of 3 minutes ." Then if it drains more than 1000ml you can pull the drain plug. You add the fluid through the differential access port plug . So there's no longer a need to remove the battery with that process ?
To answer my question, yes. So much easier.
More videos about jeep Patriot please
I appreciate the support. I will do my best to record any maintenance and upgrades from now on. Have an awesome day!
Hi guys I have a 2015 white patriot And I need some help finding where the transmission fluid goes in thanks
Are you checking in neutral or park? I went back & forth after watching the vid but couldn't find it. Thanks for making content
Can you tell me if the manual says to check the oil level on the dipstick? Because there is information that the level is set differently. Excess oil is drained through the side hole and then 700 ml is added. Thank you
Just completed 3.8 drained 5.5 until dipstick read properly, with temp using scan tool. Hope this helps someone!
Great video! Just a caution, make sure not to run your engine in an enclosed space for safety!
Good call! That’s how to take a great nap that I would never wake up from! 😮
I do run a powerful fan with my garage door open when I need to idle for a moment for a job like this. Solid advice my friend!!
Alright dude I just got Quoted $350 for a transmission change at my local dealership - I have no experience with cars but I’m following your guide here haha
This wasn't too difficult with basic tools and if you are comfortable removing the battery, tray, and air box. Those are probably the hardest parts. Just take your time and go one step at a time. It's a learning experience and it will save you so much money when you don't have to pay a shop for easy maintenance.
Thanks for the vid. It’s annoying the service manual basically tells you to go to the dealer. Is that fluid you’re using compatible? I’ve read that ATF-4 isn’t the same as the OEM MOPAR SP-IV M which is what is required in the service manual. I want to go with higher quality fluid but I can’t determine if ATF-4 is the same thing or not.
ATF-4 is not the same fluid as Mopar SP-4M. The transmission in this video is made by Hyundai. I've used Valvoline MaxLife™ Multi-Vehicle ATF in my Jeep and my son's Hyundai with great success. Do NOT use ATF+4....that is used for the Dodge/Chrysler transmissions such as the 41TE or 62TE typically found in Caravan/Journeys and Town and country. I see so many people go from Premium synthetic oil for their engine and yet skip on AT fluid. Your transmission can in some cases be more costly than your engine. You can get SP-IVM at Hyundai or Kia dealers for about $15 a quart.....you wont need more than 4 or $60 plus tax or a jug of Maxlife ATF which worked fine for me cost about $30. I forgot to mention ATF+4 is only to be used in Manual transmissions....read your owners manual.
ATF-4 is totally different. I went with Amsoil and used the recommended fluid that they suggested for this transmission. I have put a few thousand miles on since the service and it's been absolutely great so far. Good luck! Mopar/Hyundai spec fluid is what you want. I highly suggest seeking out Amsoil if you can. I have a preferred customer account with them and am lucky enough to get next day delivery since they have a warehouse in my city.
How often are you supposed to change the fluids? I have my Patriot for 93k miles so far
@@thisthat5874 in severe service conditions I would suggest every 60k miles. Regular light duty is likely good to about 100-120k.
If you do it now you will be in perfect timing and it would be very beneficial.
@@dm19609721 Then why does most Mopar/Chrysler sites I've checked say either one is compatible AT+4 or SP-IV M? This is after I've put in my details on my transmission (6F24) they clearly say "This 'fits'. As for the maxlife they claim to meet only SP-IV last I checked with no mention of the "M" they're now appending, maybe their way of getting more money. From what I understand it is either AT+4 at a minimum or the more expensive SP-IV M. Not sure why if it's used for a manual transmission they would use a name like ATF+4? I'm assuming ATF stands for Automatic transmission fluid right? You may be in error on that.
Thank you for your video.
You're welcome, glad I could help!
If shes doing the erky jerky after this job do the throttle body relearn. We did new battery, crank and cam sensors and trans flush. Got the erky jerky after

@@JB-tz9pi I 1000% agree!! With how many members are on there, I'm shocked at how few decent videos are on UA-cam for these vehicles.
If you set + 700 ml along the side hole, then there is no oil on the dipstick at all. It is necessary to add another 1.5 - 2 liters. I mean it's not the same.
Can you recommend where to get amsoil transmission fluid. I can’t find it in any parts stores or on Amazon?
I dont get how leaving it alone would help if by doing a service on it your adding new filters and fluid instead of just adding fluid with dirty possibly clogged filters just my opinion
I have the 2014 4x4 compass with this transmission - I bought it just last year with 108,000 miles on it and when I had it in the shop for a servicing a few months ago I asked them about the transmission and the diff's and was told that since the transmission was "sealed" (no dipstick") it should be good for the life of the jeep, but Jeep would recommend getting it changed at 192,000 miles. Please tell me that was a joke.
Lifetime fluid sounds like a huge lie to me.
I change mine on my 2014 6 spd auto every 60k
@@Blindowl1234 Thanks! The worst part about buying twice preowned is not knowing what was done, and if it was - when it was done.

Mind you the vehicle drives just fine.
@@HaddaClu Jeep even recommends 160,000 miles/192,000 kilometers. I don't get these shops that don't do it. The procedure isn't very complicated especially for a garage. Maybe they're worried about the liability if something happens to get botched? however; that's what insurance if for, right?
@@JB-tz9pi I was recently at another shop getting my cat / exhaust manifold and brakes replaced, and asked this shop might do, and was told once again since its a sealed automatic unit I would only be destroying the transmission, ptu, and differential if I changed the fluids. I guess I'm going to have to pony up and make an appointment with a dealer - checked with my landlord; no fluid changes in the parking lot.
Hey I’m having troubling locating that rubber tube that allows airflow
It should have a round black plastic breather cap on the top of it. Good luck, maybe it got moved a little.
How could I identify if the jeep has automatic trasmisión 6 speed or CVT??
Stomp on the accelerator. Does it shift through gears or does it do some weird stuff trying to be smooth? CVT does not feel like a traditional transmission at all.
I have a 2017 patriot with 2.4 and it is not the cvt transmission. Is that a Hyundai transmission?
does removing the battery cause any computer issues?
Not at all. It’s a good chance to clean the battery terminals also. The fuel mapping will likely go back to default, and you will have to set the clock on the radio. Other than that disconnecting the battery will not cause any harm with the computer.
Question here , does the filter need to be replaced when changing fluid transmission? What happens if I just changed fluid transmission? will affected my vehicle?
@@kingmikey3992 if your specific transmission has a replaceable filter, definitely change it. My 6f24 transmission does not have a replaceable filter so that doesn’t apply to my Jeep.
Where did you get that dip stick ???
All I found is 4’ long I want a stationary one like that
Did you stick with 20mm on your dipstick or did you have to add more?
i got 3 quarts out when cold.The hannes manual states it takes 5 quarts.I just added 5 quarts.I seen other videos where they only add 4 quarts..so whos right?.
When I drained mine I got about 3-3.5 quarts out. Then to fill to the proper level on my dip stick. It took a little more than 4 quarts.
guess different patriots/compass come with different measures from the factory??
How can you tell if you have the 6 speed automatic transmission
Thanks! Just about to do this to my patriot. Where did you get the dip stick tool?
I found it on Ebay. Just look up "Jeep 6F24 dipstick".
Call autozone they should have it that or most automotive parts shops should have it. Hope it helps you out.
Thanks you for your vídeo, how many liters of oil you applied? I have the same vehicle, please.
I used about 4 quarts. Which should be pretty close to 4 liters?
what amsoil aft did you get?
I got their Fuel efficient ATF.
What emissivity is your scan tool set at to get an accurate read? I have a cvt but all the videos I've seen that do a fluid change for that don't do it properly with the scanner. Since there's a pan and not just the transmission block I'm not sure what metal to set it to for accuracy. I think it's between .3 - .4 ?
I didn't use a scan tool for temperature reading. I went simple and used my best judgement by using an Infrared thermometer to check the temperature on various parts of the transmission to get a general idea of what the running temperatures were.
I have a 2015 jeep Patriot 2.0 fwd that I can put in manual and has 6 gears. Is this a cvt transmission or a 6 speed auto manual transmission?
Patriot and Compass use CVT.
Being a Hyundai 6F24 tranny, you should use AMSOIL OE Synthetic ATF..not normal ATF shown..good luck with the clutches..
I went with the recommendation on the Amsoil website. If it's different now, I'll use the updated on next time. So far so good, I've put on 41k miles since this video was made. I'll do it again in less than 10k miles from now. Thanks.
Where is the filter for the transmission located
The filter Is inside of transmission,Is just drain AND fill,that's a Kia transmission
Keep it up💯💯
Why aren't you using cvt fluid, which is what it should take.
CVT fluid does not belong in a 6f24 transmission. My 2013 had a CVT, but my 2017 in this video has the 6 speed automatic manufactured by Hyundai.
Hyundai transmission same transmission in Dodge Dart
Another technician to be corrected by me a former Automotive technician. Is that a CVT transmission. If it is you need to change the transmission cooler filter which is in the side of it. Then pull the plug out and drain it and service the other filter underneath the pan. Don't take this the wrong way but it's kind of sounds like you're doing a job half-ass
CVT's were used prior to 2014. No cooler return filter on his Jeep.
Yeah, this is definitely not a CVT. Totally different procedure on the Hyundai based 6f24 transmission on my 2017 Patriot.
So you didn’t drain the transfer case but you put 2qt in the rear filler?
I did remove every available drain bolt for the transmission. Mine is 2wd so it doesn't have a typical transfer case.
Are there other trans in the 2016 4x4
All three transmissions are possible for a 2016 that is 4x4.
If it is a "Trail Rated FD2" then you will have the CVT with a low range feature.
If it's a regular 4x4 FD1 then you will either have the 6f24 auto 6 speed or the 5 speed manual.
Is yours a "Trail Rated" model with the badge on the driver side fender?
Thank you!!

i have strike on "D" Car drives good. but when i start from d a have strike. then when fluide is about 60 c degree strike is gone.
was there a reason to refresh the fluid problem wise or was it a interval maintenance?
Preventative maintenence and switching to a preferred fluid that is superior in every way. I want this Jeep to last a lot longer than my 2013 that had thr CVT. That one almost made it to 200k miles. I want this one to make it to 300k miles.
*Not compatible with 2014 models*
I have a 14 on my lift right now and you must drop the pan, no drain plug
Sounds like you have the CVT. The 6 speed auto (6f24) doesn't have a pan.
Hey i was told that putting in new fluid could mess up the transmission. Is this true?
I highly doubt there could be a circumstance where fresh fluid could cause any damage. As long as it's at the proper level and the right kind of fluid then it can only give additional protection and performance.
Yes this is possible, but only on very high mileage fluid.
For example, if you ignored flushing your transmission for 160k miles, then drain out sludgy gross fluid and replace with new, it would not be surprising if the transmission broke down shortly after.
You do realize this transmission holds up to 8.6 quartz. You only changed basically 1/3 of the fluid. You have to flush the transmission in order to get all the fluid out. This basically did nothing. Owners manual says it should never need changed except under extreme conditions.
I wouldn't recommend a flush for most situations. But freshening up the fluid every 50k is my plan to keep this transmission lasting a long time in the Mojave Desert. I did notice an improvement I shifting immediately after this service. Also I never trust any fluid to not be changed no matter how good it is. Best of luck my friend.
any good mechanic would tell you never to do a flush on a transmission. even says that in the manual. Only a drain and fill.
What is the difference in draining the transmission cold and replacing exactly what you took out?
Do you have a videos of changing the transfer case and rear differential?
It's better to run it a little bit to bring the temperature up to where it can be read accurately. Plus it flows out faster/easier when warm and suspends any contaminants to make them easier to remove instead of collecting in spots that might not drain out. Doing it cold is still going to help but it's better to run it to a warmer temperature first. The service manual calls for at least 120* so that to dip stick measures correctly.
I would gladly make videos for the transfer case and rear differential, but unfortunately my Patriot is only 2wd so I can't.
Best of luck!!

so,,does it really kinda,,,,,make you as a 'consumer' or buyer of the jeep product, that jeep or whoever makes these transmissions , doesn't put in a good old 'old fashioned' DIP STICK for the transmissions? for decades,,,,we've been able to let your auto be 'hot' and even with the engine running, and pull out the TRANSMISSION CHECK DIP STICK to CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL ?
