Update to my last comment, after 2015, they changed the design of the transmission on the patriots. it won't look like this and is difficult to get fluid into and check.
My family has a 2008 compass. They wanted me to change the trans oil and filter. There are no leaks so I may buy a dip stick find the level at idle in park cold and hot and mark it accordingly. The other method is there is a level plug that needs to be removed and checked that way. I will have to do more research on where it is located and whether the engine should be running or stopped.
Thanks for the video
Thank you I have a Jeep compass 2007 also and it’s been having trouble the rpms go way up sometimes and then it won’t accelerate so i have to pull over turn it off and turn it back on and then it’s fine someone told me I need to go to an actual mechanic to get it checked and filled but don’t have that kind of money so thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for posting this. I got a 2007 dodge caliber and can't afford dealerships to check it. So researching and found your video and others. But yours is more detailed and helpful.
I've got the same dodge caliber. It was my Dad's car before I gave it to me.
but my 2016 doesn't have that handy fluid cap and tube. It's completely enclosed, with no way to add fluid easily.
I came looking for the same thing on my 2016 patriot.
Pull the over plug and see what happens after car isn’t hott because transmission gets thicker with hot
Mine is a 2014 jeep Patriot sport and mine doesnt have a spot to check or add the transmission fluid. My husbadj said because its a dodge that they dont xome with it but from your video it should please help
There has to be a way to put fluid in it and check the level. Maybe it's just a plug instead of a dipstick
Mines too same year the sport in my picture avi it’s giving me trouble just changed the motor now I suspect trans is messing up pulled over pop the hood and couldn’t find the stick this video helped I’m about to go outside and check again
Thanks for your help, you saved my compass and my savings.😊
Blessing and more blessings to you and your family 💞
My trans took a dirt nap so i salvaged another used one. For some reason on the older years the trans tube comes ALL the way to the top so easy fill up. On the newer ones( at least on my 2012 and ive also seen on 2012) the tube is so damn short its almost impossible to get down in there to refill so i pulled an older long tube from a 2007 and put it on the transmission i got. My guess is they did that so its harder to find so you dont have braindeads putting engine oil in it or something
So that no one checks it and they make more money off of people that don't know anything...
Sup bud! New subscriber!
Thanks for the sub man!
Hey. Mine was reading 70 when left sit for 12 hours. Do you think it’s low or too high. What did you end up doing to the one.
Very informative video, thank you...
Hell yeah bro 💪 much appreciated
My 08 dodge Caliber sxt after driving everywhere always reads 40mm so is that about what other people are getting or does that sound low.
According to the level charts 40 is good at all temperatures
@@GrimeTimeWithKenny that makes me feel better
my CVT fill tube rusted off :/ anyone else have this issue?
Mine broke at the weld half way down to the transmission where bracket is beside the battery tray. I've heard others having the same problem. Dorman improved the design putting an isolator at that location. I wouldn't expect Jeep to admit to their design flaw
Thank you for your help 🙌🏼
“In this video im gonna show you how to check your transmission fluid…..:but first off……please sub” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I can not seem to find that cap anywhere in my Compass at all ..
Do certain years come with this or is this a fault ??
What year is it?
Thanks!

So you just ram the dipstick down the tube?
If you ram it it'll bottom out and bend giving you a false reading. You want it to just touch the bottom.
Where you insert the dipstick is that where you also add the cvt fluid to ..??
Yes
@@GrimeTimeWithKenny okay.. wow.. thank you for responding so quickly.. my light just came on .. thanks again
My Patriot is reading between 45 and 60, depending on where the transmission is selected. At 150* Fahrenheit, this is WAY too high. Should be in the 32 ish range. Any ideas why this would be? Just too much fluid?
So all along I could've done this by myself
Wow that's ridiculous.... jeep couldn't afford to add a fucking dipstick?
Not shooting the messenger, that's for the I fo but damn it!
Totally unreliable. Why did you even post this?
I appreciate the initiative but if you don’t have the proper tool to read trans temp you don’t need to be doing the job.. I just got a Toyota that came into my shop from another where the tech did this and fucked up the transmission.
Maybe you should do a video on a jeep compass
Please post your video. Would like to see it
Well the manufacturer should have designed it to be serviceable including a way to check the level is correct. If you can make a more professional instructional video, then go ahead. Otherwise we will have to do our best troubleshooting and solving our issues in an affordable way.
@@gottahavegoalsset there is a way to check fluid level and a way to service the transmission. If you don’t know what you’re doing it’s best to just have a real mechanic do it.
