My owners manual in the service interval chart clearly says to replace the auto trans oil. this guy is pretty spot on. There is a measurement to check oil level in case you spill some.
@@joeldiaz1449 hello Joel. You mentioned about the filter inside the transmission. The dealer near my home they told me that is no need to change the filter they do offer me to make the transmission oil change but they don't service the filter. They quote me $535 dollars just to make the oil chage. They said that it takes 7 quarts. I already have 115k on the odometer. I'm planning to do it myself. What is your opinion about the filter? And do you think can I still do the oil changed even with the milage I already have? Ty in advance. Nice video!
There is another plug to the left of the axle shaft output, that is the overfill plug. With that one removed and the vehicle level the oil will drip out to the proper level.
Bonjour et désolé pour la langue j'espère que la traduction marche . Ma question est la suivante Est ce que les zf 8 et zf 9 hp ont le même filtre ? Merci d'avance...
Hey Joel what year and model is your renegade? I’m just asking because I saw a video where a Jeep renegades filler cap was on the side of the transmission
2015. Filler cap is where I show on the video. Seen a bunch of videos about this transmission from mopar mechanics. That is the filler cap. The black cover in the front of transmission is the transmission valve cover.
Hi Joel! I just found your video, by the way, excellent job. I want to know if there is a special procedure while changing the oil or did you just started the car immediately and drive away? Thanks in advance for your prompt response.!!!
I just started it and drove. Is simple, just put in what comes out. Like I said in the video, about 4.5 qt came out of my tranny, I put in 4.5 qt back.
My question is the dealer told me it’s lifetime fluid cause I brought it in to change. N they told me it’s lifetime so is that a lie I’m asking so I know if I have to change it or not.
All oil breakdown eventually. What they mean is that the oil is good until the tranny breaks down. But if you change the oil, the tranny will last you way longer than if the oil is never changed.
excellent video thanks a lot! so you changed the fluid on this renegade at 60k, and 100k? also did the transmission feel less rough shifting after you changed the fluid at 60k?
So, I changed it the first time after I was sure how to do it @ 80k. Then again @ 100k because I wanted to have cleaner oil in it. The first change, the oil was really bad. And yes, there was improvement after both changes. The next one I plan to do it @ 150k.
hey, i ended up bringing ours to AAMCO they said they drained 7 quarts and it cost $28/qt. i’m sure they probably drained 4-5qts like you said, but i guess that’s business. i could have done it myself but i just didn’t want to risk it and don’t have time right now. anyway, i paid $360 vs about $150 DIY if anyone is interested.
Thanks for posting, needing to change the as my trans over heated in 4x4 mode, (1 note that should be made is to always remove fill plug 1st. Then the drain plug) so looks like the other posting another guy did is wrong by filling it on the side! & Ended up spilling fluid on his floor!😀
You want to change it before it starts slipping or acting up. It’s like changing your engine oil. If the engine seized up it’s too late. Same with the transmission. If you only plan to keep the car for 150k then trade it in or something don’t change any of your fluids and push your problems onto the next guy. If you’re trying to keep the car for a long time you want to change all your fluids regularly and that includes transmission fluid.
My jeep Renegade has 169.000km and never seen new oil trasmission. My MEC Say ti me that It never change It before 250000. Is It true? I think no. So could you Say to me where can i buy the oil trasmission? Thanks for all

Thanks i Hope to Do It next week...in Italy no One help me to change or Say to me how to Do. Jeep official MEC Say that oil Will be change at 250k km. I think it's wrong....
You don't have to change the filter inside just add clean it all the time put another extra when you changing it but just add that's all you need to do that's what they thirty-two forty thousand Miles and you good
Just keep replacing it with that the oil and buy that oil that he said that 98 speed it's expensive but it's worth it that's all it's a special blend with the filter in there
I have a 2015 Jeep renegade I bought it used from Enterprise they sell cars cheaper than the dealership I've been in Florida over 35 years I'm not a mechanic but the cars I buy I study them I keep them for a while I have a 120,000 miles and that's what I've been and is still shifting like brand new
I have a jeep renegade 2015 the same as yours and I changed the oil to the transmission and at the time I added the oil I put 4 and a half liters as it says in your video and the gear lever is locked, can you help me with a comment? suggestion thanks
Here is something you all must take note of when it comes to transmission oil if you have changed it before the oil has broken down and turned brown or black before the oil has grit in it then you can continue to change your transmission oil for example if you have changed your transmission oil every 20000 miles then it is okay to keep changing it however it is important to understand that if you change it at 80,000 miles you are draining out all of that grit in all of that dirt which helped cause friction which is what helps your transmission shift so if you change your oil at a high-mileage you going to be doing harm to your transmission in the gears are not going to shift properly so if you noticed your transmission shifting harder or any clunkiness this is because you changed it At too high of mileage
What the heck are you saying?😂 it sounds like you are saying that when the fluid turns black it contains the dirt and grit that helps your transmission make friction so you shouldn’t change it? Dang dude. No, just no. How about I dump some sand In my transmission. That ought to help it shift by your logic. Or just let your transmission fluid turn black and never change it because that way it will contain grit and dirt and it will make it work well so you never have to change it ever. No no no. Yes black fluid has grit and dirt and some of it is from the friction surfaces wearing, but changing the fluid at that point is not going to make the transmission work any worse. All that grit that came off the friction bands aren’t doing ANYTHING for your transmission being suspended In the fluid EXCEPT impeding the hydraulic properties of your fluid. I’m willing to bet your experience here was this: waited until transmission problems to change the fluid. It was black. Soon after your transmission failed the rest of the way and you blamed it on the fluid change. Like waiting for a rod knock before changing the oil
Chrysler 200 with 2.4 is worst, you have to take off the wheel and tie rod to check fluid level in this 9 speed. 3.6 200s are better, because they have slightly different layout inside the engine bay.
No way should you use ATF+4 in a ZF 9-speed. The ZF needs a lower viscosity fluid like Red Line D6 or Amsoil Signature Fuel-Efficient Trans Fluid, or pay through the nose for the Mopar ZF stuff. And yes, the drain plug is 8mm hex.
Im not trying to be a smartass or anything like that, im just trying to help out a little. Its not "Transmission OIL" its "Transmission FLUID" the only OIL a car uses is Engine OIL and Differential OIL all the others are Fluids, Power Steering Fluid, Brake Fluid, Transmission Fluid, Transfer Case Fluid, Washer Fluid. Like i said im not trying to be an ass, im just trying to help
@@youngpete6696 It kept leaking transmission fluid out of a hose. They finally said that the transmission needed to be replaced. I still don't feel its right to this day. I like Jeep but not impressed with this one.
@@ndhonda1282 from what i know they never almost ever actually replace them , i had an issue with big time gear noise at 35-40 mph like spinning gears or something took it to the dealer 5 times 1st it was the breaks they said 2nd it was the front tires they said 3rd it was just tire noise 4th it was “how it is designed “ 5th i just was soo pissed off how they said there was nothing wrong at all like if i was crazy , remember this is a 29k$ 20k mile car , i ended up doing my own research and decided to flush the trans oil you know empty and fill and empty and fill again 200$ later and problem solved runs like new , i was just so disapointed how they got me for ceramic breaks tire balance tires without ever mentioning trans fluid so disappointed .
@@youngpete6696 I was shocked for a vehicle with 6000 miles on it that all that work needed to be done. I'm going to be making an appointment this week to have it checked out. I just seems like the shift points are off and doesn't shift when it suppose to. I'm just torn on the whole thing with having these issues so early on. Hope that's the last of them.

Thanks so much for making this video. I have a Renegade and need to do this sooner rather than later.
Joel!!! You are awesome, this looks way easier than I thought it would be. I’m at 60k miles now and just had to change a coil pack and spark plugs.
Just make sure to use rhe right oil and measure what comes out, because that amount you put back in.
Joel Diaz what is the first tool that you mentioned for the drain plug?
I used a 5/16 allen, but a 8mm also works.

@@israelgonzalez4001 because the filter is inside the transmission. The only way to cahnge it is by splitting open the tranny
Absolutely Perfect video. just did my 2018 Jeep compass.
This is just pure greatness!!
Thanks you!, I couldnt get fill plug off with the Allen Rench... Got 6mm hex socket.
There is another plug to the left of the axle shaft output, that is the overfill plug. With that one removed and the vehicle level the oil will drip out to the proper level.
Filling from this location doesn’t require you to fill as slowly either.
Thanks my friend, your video is amazing.
Thanks man! 🍻
Thanks buddy I'm looking forward to doing this
Is it best to do this oil cold and refill the same amount? Did you use a dip stick to check level?
Thanks Joel☕
What size hose did you use and where do you get the last piece you used to make your funnel
Great video. Thanks
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing what you learned! I am looking forward to seeing more videos about Jeep Renegade repairs!
And you will everybody will that's what this is for

Good morning
So just wondering why you changed the transmission fluid in the first place? Was it slipping or acting up?

Does this method apply to a 6 speed transmission?
No
Did you do it cold?
@@douglascasey3486 yup
Can I fill it till it overflows from fill hole? Or is that bad?
Don't do that, you will damage your transmission.
@@joeldiaz1449 thanks Joel, then I have no way of knowing if it was filled correctly from factory
Just measure how much you drained and put that same amount back in with new oil. You can also take it to the dealer to get measured.
If you have the ZF9HP48 Trans then filling it until it comes out of the fluid level check is fine but not the fill hole
Just pour extra one so like that you cooking you all it is is in the air like a airbag in the in the vacuum
Is this a 9-speed zf 948te ???
I think is similar, but not sure. I'm no mecanic. There is a video on UA-cam that talks about both transmissions.
You don't have to change the filter inside just add clean it all the time put another extra when you changing it but just add that's all you need to do that's what they thirty-two forty thousand Miles and you good
Just keep replacing it with that the oil and buy that oil that he said that 98 speed it's expensive but it's worth it that's all it's a special blend with the filter in there

Don't use no other oil transmission just that one

Good video…. No extra bull…..
Are you saying "fuel" or fill plug?
Fill
I have a jeep renegade 2015 the same as yours and I changed the oil to the transmission and at the time I added the oil I put 4 and a half liters as it says in your video and the gear lever is locked, can you help me with a comment? suggestion thanks
I’m sure this message is arriving far too late to be of help to you, but he didn’t say 4.5 liters….it’s 4.5 quarts
Valvoline Maxlife is good for 8&9 ZF transmissions.
So upsetting the transmission is sealed so your forced to take it in to change the filter. Yet another anti consumer practice
