tranny fluid change...

that being said, if it is a 6spd tremec i would use ROYAL PURPLE ATF. i used it in my 12 R/T and it shifted like butter. the above is direct from the factory manual, GOOD LUCK!

 

That makes more sense. I was finding it hard to believe the factory was suggesting changing trans fluid at 25000 miles. In every service interval chart they suggest a "standard use" interval and what's considered a "severe use" interval. Certainly, adopting the severe use intervals aren't going to hurt the vehicle, it's just harder on your pocket.

 

Katshot, by definition, severe use is driving in the city stop and go , on a daily basis

 

That's an over generalization.

 

I would call that normal driving, as most people do it to one extent or another

 

While many people DO operate their cars in a stop-and-go environment from time to time, that's not considered "severe duty". "Severe duty" service intervals were mainly designed for commercial use vehicles such as police, ambulance, taxi etc. The reason for this is that these vehicles spend a lot of time idling. OEMs use terms like "predominantly" in their publications to describe how to determine whether a vehicle should utilize the "severe duty" maintenance schedule. OEMs generally state that if the vehicle is predominantly used in dirty, dusty environments and/or idling conditions it should be considered "severe duty". In reality, if the vehicle is "predominantly" used in ANY way that abnormally stresses the drivetrain, it should adhere to the "severe duty" schedule. Unfortunately, the whole concept can be rather subjective.

 

It’s a Challenger. If you don’t drive it under “Severe Duty”
You might as well have bought a Chevy.

 

LOL! So, I don't want to buy a used Challenger from you!

 

Correct

Or a House from an Electrician or Carpenter
Or a Bike from a Biker

 

I liked all of your replies. what i said about severe duty driving is how chrysler always described it. Intentionally vague. it was a tactic to sell more service work. a car is like your body, you gotta give it a god "work out" every now and then
