  Q: What Steps Should You Follow for Routine Maintenance of the Automatic Transmission Filter on Jeep Compass?

  A:

  To perform routine maintenance on the automatic transaxle fluid and filters, follow these steps, Begin by raising the front of the vehicle and securing it with jackstands while engaging the parking brake. Remove the under-vehicle splash shield. For CVT transaxles, use a specialized scan tool to check fluid temperature and tool #9336A (or equivalent) to measure fluid level, and if lacking these tools, it is not recommended to proceed. Drain the fluid by loosening and removing the pan bolts, leaving the rear bolts to prevent full separation. Remove the pan, gasket, and oil strainer, then replace the strainer O-ring and strainer, tightening fasteners. Clean the pan, transaxle body, and pan magnet meticulously. Install a new transaxle oil pan gasket, reattach the pan, and tighten bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Lower the vehicle and add four quarts of the specified transaxle fluid. Start the engine, let it idle, shift through all gear positions, and check the fluid level as per the procedure. For the 6F24 6-speed transaxle, which also requires specialized tools for fluid temperature and level, remove the drain plug to drain the fluid and then reinstall it. Remove the battery and tray, take out the fill plug from the vent pod at the transaxle's upper front, and the check plug from the rear of the transaxle case. Add 4.3 quarts of specified transaxle fluid through the vent pod hole using a long funnel, reinstall the fill plug, and replace the battery and tray. Remove the vent cap from the vent pod hose to allow venting while adding the remaining fluid. Start the engine, shift through all gear positions twice, and add one more quart of ATF through the check plug hole at the rear of the transaxle case. Check and adjust the fluid level as needed, turn off the engine, install the vent cap, and reinstall the fresh air inlet duct before finishing by installing the check plug.
