Anyone have experience changing ATF in Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo , 2 wd, auto with V8 engine. I understand there is a spin on filter inside the pan.
Thanks

my ram has the same style. has a spin on filter inside and a regular style filter too.
Yes
I assume the 545RFE
Get a mopar pancake and the cooler return line spin on.

I put a B&M bulkhead fitting in the pan to make draining/refill easier.
I use the Amsoil ATF in mine. 02 WJ with 4.7

ONLY use Mopar ATF+4 in any Chrysler transmission.
Don't worry too much about the fluid. If you can find a cheep ATF+4 that is great, but multi vehicle ATF is good to if it says compatible. I used a multi in my 545RFE and it worked fantastic.
Sorry about that...it is a 2012 model..has the 6-Spd Automatic 65RFE Transmission

cool
The good news is that you can get an aftermarket pan that has a drain plug, which will make future ATF changes much easier
Even if you still insist on dropping the pan, having a drain plug to drain the pan first will still make things much better and less messy, rather than having a bunch of used oil splash all over. Drain from the drain plug, then remove the pan, then change the filter.
Redline C+ is the best ATF to sue in any transmission calling for ATF+4 even though it is not officially licensed.

I would only use an ATF that meets or exceeds ATF+4 Spec. Comparable does not work for me. Fluid is cheap compared to a Trans.
This ATF pan actually has a drain plug on it...so would make it easier to drain before taking off the pan to change the filters.
im going with Mopar fluid
Supertech ATF+4 is great stuff at a great price. Your only wasting money going with the more expensive Mopar fluid.
