The manual will specify the correct fluid type, either by name (e.g., ATF+4, Mercon V) or by a specification number. Using the incorrect fluid can severely damage your transmission.
If you don't have the owner's manual, you can:
* Check the transmission dipstick: Sometimes the recommended fluid type is printed on the dipstick itself.
* Look for a sticker under the hood: There might be a sticker near the transmission that lists the recommended fluid.
* Use your VIN: You can use your vehicle identification number (VIN) at a Dodge dealership or online parts store to look up the correct transmission fluid.
Don't guess – using the wrong fluid can be very costly. Always refer to your owner's manual or use a reliable method to identify the correct fluid for your specific truck's transmission.
