Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Ram Sprinter Gen II automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed as a range of 5.5 to 7.1 liters across all six configurations. A range rather than a fixed value typically reflects the difference between a partial service fill, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and cooler lines, and a more complete drain that recovers a greater volume.
  • The 1.6-liter spread between the low and high capacity figures is a practical consideration during service. Technicians generally add fluid incrementally and verify level through the transmission's check procedure, since overfilling an automatic transmission can cause aeration and pressure irregularities.
  • All six configurations share an identical change interval of 60,000 miles or 120 months under normal use conditions. The 120-month figure equals ten years, meaning the time-based limit can become the governing factor for vehicles that accumulate mileage slowly.
  • The 2500 and 3500 body variants, spanning both the 3.5 V6 gasoline engine and the CDI diesel engine families, carry the same 5.5-7.1 liter capacity specification. The gross vehicle weight rating difference between the 2500 and 3500 series does not produce a variation in the listed transmission fluid volume.
  • The CDI and CDI + DPF configurations within each body class also share identical fluid capacity and change interval figures. The addition of a diesel particulate filter, which affects exhaust aftertreatment, does not alter the automatic transmission fluid specification in these rows.
  • The 60,000-mile service interval applies specifically to normal use conditions. Normal use, as a classification, generally describes on-highway driving without the sustained low-speed loads, frequent towing cycles, or extreme temperature exposure that would define a severe-duty classification.
