Great video with two glaring exceptions. As others have already commented, jack stand placement did body damage, and always change the filter when changing the fluid, which in this case is the oil pan.
The plastic full length, plastic rocker panel moldings are damaged. Just focus on the video when stands are put in place and vehicle is lowered onto them. Also check when the vehicle is raised and the stands are removed, this shows the damage. DUH!@@themodernweediest4274
Hate to break it to all the ones concerned about about the jack stand and body placement, but there's where you do in fact place the jack, it's a unibody car, you have to put the jack on the pinch weld. That rear diff jacking point is bunk though, never jack up a car with independent rear suspension, solid axels are okay though.
On a Charger there is one pan bolt that is partially blocked by the transmission mount. I got mine out but had to use a torq bit with a 8mm wrench. Could be a better tool to get it but I didn’t have it at the time. Just fyi. Oh also drained about 5 quarts out. FYI.
@@JonathanDiaz-vm5mb I have a 2016 Charger R/T. I reused the old oil I drained out. Was suggested by a mechanic I know. He said my trans has been treated rough by previous owner and the clutches my slip with new oil. I already had a small bit of slippage. I think I may do it again but use new oil next time.
There is no body damage guys!!! Challengers have a plastic skirt so what you are seeing is the plastic giving way to allow the stand to support the car on the pinch welds. The skirt is made to set lower so that your pinch welds are covered and cannot be seen.
I wondered the same: why drop the trans pan if they weren’t going to replace the filter (which on this transmission is integrated so replaced along with the pan.) It’s also good practice to loosen the fill plug first, so you don’t drain the fluid then realize “oh, the filler plug is stuck so I can’t add fluid.”
Why was I just told by a dodge dealer that the 8hp70 don’t have any recommended maintenance like this? They also said your not supposed to do it? Where they lying? It’s a 2015 challenger rt 8at
Most of these cars come with transmission fluid that is good for the “lifetime of the vehicle,” but usually they mean the lifetime of the warranty. You for sure should change your transmission fluid regularly, unless you’ve got about 150k+ miles on it, then just leave it alone.
This mostly wrong for a 2016 Challenger 8 speed. The Pan and filter are integral. Also, the "gasket" is an o-ring integral with the pan itself. Everything about filling is correct.
Could someone tell me how many quarts of transmission fluid I would need for a 2016 dodge challenger 3.6 sxt plus? Yes I will be replacing the pan filter while doing this drain and fill........
The filter is built into the pan you didn’t even change it . From the jack stands I would not take any advice off this video . Get a new pan and change the trans oil and you good .
Best part is under the challenger (on the frame not on the pinch welds) it has a little arrow pointing to a spot specifically designed for jack stands. So you dont do exactly what these amateurs did to these poor rocker moldings.
What about the body damage you left with the jack stands? Professional mechanics, I think not.
If you noticed when he first gets the pan on the table, he calls it an oil pan lol
That hurt watching it lowering on the jack 🤦♂️
Yeah really. Not a good position. I'd be pissed.
Looks like car is actually on a lift while servicing. Im sure they put that in for liability purposes.
you got insurance right?????

Jack stand does not damage the car there that is the place to put the jack haha

it's a plastic skirt, it'll go back
Go back to what, pristine undamaged condition? @@shermanharris2551
Why did y’all start out the tutorial on jack stands but did the actual transmission fluid drain and pan removal on a lift???
Do not out Jack stands where these guys did. Makes the rest of the information questionable.
Yeah that part is not the best part to put it on.
Those are the place where the manual says to put them... It will be fine if you are careful

That’s the spot, but that’s not how to place the jackstands. They need to be turned 90 degrees.
I just use one of those slotted rubber biscuits wedged into the jack stand...
How did u change filter without new pan
I have two mechanics claim the transmission fluid on a Dodge Challenger SXT should never be changed and can last the life of the vehicle. That is BS!
@@newhampshirelifestyle4233
Never change the fluid and only change the filter! Transmission will last a lot longer.
You guys lost me at that body damage you caused. That’s not where you put the Jack stand fyi

So you refilled with 5 quarts also? And what kind of charger do you have?

@@ronsvenom never reuse the same oil and if it’s slipping change differential fluid
JAW DROPPED AT 1:16🥲🤯🫡
I would have appreciated actually watching your method of adding the transmission fluid but thanks anyway
Hello, thanks for the video. It helps me. Greetings from Germany. Have a great time
Great. If you have the 8 spd. Now how about the nag1 5 spd. 08 thru 14.
Honestly your supposed to replace pan it has a built in filter
a mechanic quoted for me $700 for it.
1:06: Ouch... Also, they left out the final step: Replace both rocker-panel covers when done.
I have dodge Charger 2015, Mechanic told me don't change 100% oil. just remove 25% and add 25% new oil and drive. So kindly advice.
This is trans, not oil
@@steveburkhalter7095 yeah haha! I think he meant to say to not perform a flush and to only do a drain and fill procedure?

These plastic skirts are $300 so the damage is real .
@@rodneyfairborn9358 ive raised my scat multiple times on stands at the pinch welds. The plastic is still intact and free of dents dings or scuffs.
Did I miss the transmission filter replacement?

It’s also good practice to loosen the fill plug first, so you don’t drain the fluid then realize “oh, the filler plug is stuck so I can’t add fluid.”
The filter is integrated to the pan. So the new pan will have the filter built-in.

@@d-jay1665you should do it at least 40 to 50,000 miles or your shifts will be rough
@@d-jay1665 No harm in doing a drain and fill (not flush) at 150k
how many quarts would i need for a 5.7 charger?
Just put it until you hit the screw on the side, start the vehicle so that the pump works and refill, make sure that the car is on a flat surface.
Amen brother!! Thank you so much ; Great video you guys helped tons
This mostly wrong for a 2016 Challenger 8 speed. The Pan and filter are integral. Also, the "gasket" is an o-ring integral with the pan itself. Everything about filling is correct.
You're supposed to changed the filter with the new pan
how many quarts of fluid does it take?
Does this manual also work for a 2019 Dodge Challenger RT? 5.7 Hemi.
What if your car doesn't have a transmission temperature in the instrument cluster?
Scan tool with trans temp gauge.
use your hand
So the manual doesnt say what tools the job require? Interesting
Do you only use 1 quart?
Does the drain plug use the same t40 used on the drain pan bolts?
@@rainmastermedia no, it doesn’t. The drain plug uses a 10mm hex bit, and the fill/check plug uses an 8mm hex bit.
@@clarkbactad5155 life saver bro , what do you do if you “strip” it…

You will need about six

So upset i hit a huge rock going 70mph getting onthe freeway and noticed a leak today. looks like its transmission
Thanks
😁
You have to replace the pan. The integrated filter will be dirty. Putting new transmission fluid with a dirty filter is ludicrous.
Holy cringe! That jack stand placement is terrible.
Those jack stands have recalls!! They're dangerous
Dude....the side skirts.....wow!!!
Is this a 5.7

I worked on a challenger and just used the same reinforced area to rest the car that I used to raise it, works for me and no no bother!
Did yall pay for the body damage
Nah! I wouldn't want to damage my cars body like that! But thanks anyway for the information and education on maintenance.
What size Allen wrench
10mm drain and fill. Pan is torx
Awesome thanks!
You didn’t show were put to the transmission fluid smh
Thos seams easily crush and fold in
Let me find out you left those Jack stand marks on my car
If you jacked my challenger like that I would of charged you
Wow. Damage to the rocker moldings. That's not good.
The notorious
Don't dent the car.
He just drained brand new fluid..
This video is stupid... LOL HOW TO SMASH YOUR ROCKER PANELS!!!
They'll go back , there made of plastic 🤣
So "professional"
