What is the automatic transmission oil capacity for 97 dodge Dakota?

The automatic transmission fluid capacity for a 1997 Dodge Dakota varies slightly depending on the specific transmission used (e.g., 3-speed, 4-speed, etc.) and whether a pan gasket is replaced during the service. There's no single definitive answer.

To find the correct capacity:

1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will specify the correct fluid capacity for your specific Dakota's transmission.

2. Look up your transmission type: The transmission type (e.g., 3-speed 46RH, 4-speed 42RE) is usually found on a sticker on the transmission itself or in your owner's manual. Once you know the type, you can search online (e.g., on a parts website like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or RockAuto) for the fluid capacity.

3. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your year and model Dakota will provide this information.

Without knowing your specific transmission type, I cannot give you a precise number. Expect the capacity to be in the range of 10-12 quarts, but this is just an approximation and could be significantly off. Always use the information found in your owner's manual or a reputable repair manual. Using the wrong amount of fluid can damage your transmission.
