Actually, the first question is “Do I need to change my transmission fluid at all?”  For the answer, consult your Chrysler Owner’s Manual. Unless there’s a leak or a problem, some newer transmissions are designed to never need a fluid change.

But let’s say your car does need a transmission fluid flush as part of preventive maintenance.  The top reason to change it is to keep your transmission operating at its best. Like any other fluid such as engine oil, transmission fluid becomes less effective over time. Stop-and-go driving, towing or other high-stress conditions can shorten its life even further. Unlike other fluids, however, transmission fluid doesn’t just lubricate the transmission parts, it also acts as hydraulic fluid, helping keep the transmission cooler and helping with shifts.

In a practical sense, the most important reason to perform preventive maintenance on your transmission comes down to dollars and cents: getting a transmission fluid flush might cost you a few hundred dollars, but a new transmission will cost thousands.

How many quarts of transmission fluid does a 2010 Town and Country take?

The total capacity on the 62te is 9 quarts, so I still had 3.5 quarts of the old fluid to get out of the system. I did this by disconnecting the transmission (return) cooling line that's on top of the transmission.
