Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Journey 2.0 CRD carries a capacity range of 5.5–6 liters for its semi-automatic transaxle, reflecting a fill tolerance rather than a fixed volume, with a change interval of 90,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions.
  • The Journey 2.4 16V automatic transaxle lists two distinct capacity figures: 8.7 liters for a dry fill and 3.8 liters for a service fill. The dry fill figure applies when the transmission is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or replacement, while the service fill figure applies during a routine fluid change where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • Under normal use, the Journey 2.4 16V carries a fluid change interval of 192,000 km or 192 months, which equals 16 years. A fluid level check is also specified at 1 month after a service fill.
  • Under severe use conditions, the Journey 2.4 16V change interval shortens to 96,000 km or 96 months, exactly half the distance and time of the normal use interval, while the dry and service fill capacities of 8.7 liters and 3.8 liters remain unchanged.
  • The Journey 2.7 V6 automatic transaxle holds a dry fill capacity of 8.5 liters and a service fill capacity of 5.2 liters. The service fill volume is notably higher than the 3.8-liter service fill of the 2.4 16V, indicating a larger residual fluid volume remains in the 2.7 V6 transaxle during a routine change.
  • Under normal use, the Journey 2.7 V6 shares the same 192,000 km or 192-month change interval as the 2.4 16V, and also includes a 1-month fluid level check interval following a service fill.
  • Under severe use, the Journey 2.7 V6 change interval is listed as 96,000 km or 48 months. The time-based interval of 48 months is notably shorter than the 96-month time limit applied to the 2.4 16V under the same severe use condition, despite both sharing the same distance-based interval of 96,000 km.
