mine is a 2021 jl i did mine it also took 61/2 qts made a big difference in the way it shifts. must have been low from factory. i bought a sheet of exhaust heat shield wrap and installed it on exhaust next to ppe trans pan. it is the new style that's been cut out for exhaust pipe to run under . used a home made vacuum jar hooked up to a a/c service vacuum pump then used a clear 1/8 plastic hose that i stuck into fill hole. sucked every drop of fluid out of pan ,jar was a 1 gallon with metal lid that i soldered some fittings to connect a/c charging hoses

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I just installed the PPE pan on my JLU with a 3.6l gas. I noticed you filled the transmission with a plug on the drivers side. The instructions show the plug on the rear passenger side. I used the rear passenger side and full was adding 5.75 qts.

Diesel (and 392) have 8HP75 with the fill plug on drivers side. 3.6 and 2.0 gas have Torqueflite 850RE with fill plug on the passenger side.

Great video. How long have you been running Amsoil in the trans? How did you flush the oem fluid out?

Thanks for the video. Why not replace the gasket? How do you service the filter? Do you wash it or replace it?

The filter is replaceable. Ppe sells their filter on the website if you do the ppe pan. Mopar sells a filter too if you’re doing their factory pan. As far as the gasket you can reuse it or replace it. It’s like same heavy duty gaskets they use on the front diff. Metal base with a heavy duty rubber seal. I plan on replacing it when I do the filter in about 60k miles. Thanks for watching.

This is great for your trans but i am going to put in whatever i can suction out for now ....just bought a 24 compass 2.0 , are those engines reliable if maintained?

Yes.

That’s awesome I was hoping the fill plug on the passenger side wasn’t the only one that one had me irritated lol. Have you had the fuel pump recall done yet if so what did that end up changing. Wondering what they changed on the cp4 to make it better.

I was thinking about adding this, but the warranty gets me nervous. If something happens to the trans even for other reason they’ll blame it on the pan filter maybe voiding.

@@Good-luck-Jonathan same. I put off this project for too long. The trans fluid was definitely due thanks to the old trans fluid I sent out to the lab to have analyzed. The recc due to the way the vehicle is operated. They recc sending another sample at another 40k miles. I figure if I was going to drop the mopar trans pan and pay all that money for another mopar pan I should just put that to the ppe pan anyway.

No. This is just maintenance

Love your channel and respect what you do for a living, but what you did in this video is a little confusing and maybe opens the door for a bit of debate. Here are my questions: 1. You stated OEM trans fluid is not synthetic? Is that really true? The whole lifetime trans life is "supposedly" due to the synthetic oil but I agree with the point of changing it at 50 or 60k. 2. You made a note "don't mix fluid" but the reality is you did mix fluid right? What I mean is our transmissions have the oil cooler and temp control valve set up. You didn't state anything about flushing the system so technically you mixed the new fluid with the OEM residual in the trans right? 3. in the video you transitioned from putting oil on the O ring to warming up the engine and didn't show or talk about the fill? Was there something specific in filling that should have been covered? 4. Our transmissions are temp controlled and set to run at the temps we see on the dash (200 degree range)and while I'm old school and agree (and know form past experience with my Old YJ / 3 speed trans and a huge trans cooler that cooler is better) cooler temps make the trans last longer but most Engineering technical data out there sort of proves that it does us no good to add things like trans cooler or cooling pans on our JL's or JT's since it won't have the same effect as in the good old days of basic transmission cooling (pre-emissions stuff). The cooling fins on your new trans pan may help cool the returning fluid going into the pan but it makes no difference since the temp control valve is sensing the fluid temps and making cooling adjustments as needed to keep our fluid in that 200 degree range before returning to the transmission hence the reason there isn't a big aftermarket following of coolers, pans, etc... Have you modified your jeep in some way to compensate for the cooling valve setting? Again, much respect but I'm really curious because as mentioned, I'm old school and have always had trans coolers on my previous vehicles and targeted 175 to 180 and took several of my vehicles including my 2005 hemi powered dodge durango to 287000 miles with ZERO issues before I sold it to buy the wife a smaller vehicle (since our kids are college age and no longer needing to rush to soccer and cheer practice every day lol.) I researched the mess out of this topic 3 years ago when I bought my JLUR and hit dead ends every time with the same thing being told to me by everyone (professionals in the industry) I interacted with. Do you have new "secret" information on that claim being incorrect? 😀

1) the mopar oem transmission fluid is the correct best fluid to use. It is full synthetic. I was mistaken. I get the amsoil cheap and have it collecting in the shop. It’s cheaper for me to run that since the lab results are really positive. As for filling the trans after I installed the pan, I just filled the trans from the fill hole untill it started coming out. Then I started the car and added more again. Once the trans was at the temperature required and all the gear changes were completed I checked the fluid level with it running and it was fine. That temperature check range and gear shifting process is all jeep/mopar procedure from the service manual. Very similar to our honda 10 speed process. 2) I normally use my fluid pusher for gear oil at work. All the honda fluid have their own pump per fluid type too. Did not want to mix gear oil into my transmission from my fluid pusher. So I used a new one for this fluid. Yes it did mix with the oem fluid that is everywhere inside the cooler and trans and lines / torque converter. 3) I wanted a drain bolt on the transmission pan. That was the main reason I wanted to install the pan. Doing the filter every other service makes more sense to me. Never had cooling issues with the transmission temperature. I’m sure the extra 1.5 quarts help more then the little cooling fins that won’t work if you have skid plates anyway! Thanks for the feedback!
