The engine in your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your Town and Country and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your Town and Country is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your Town and Country, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
If you are having problems with the transmission in your Town and Country, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

Product Description
Features:
1. Allows you to Check Level on 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 3.7, 5.7, 6.1, 6.4 Engines that originally came without a dipstick.
2. For
Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge vehicles that originally came without a dipstick, allows you to check fluid level without going to the Dealer, it would save you lots of money.
3. As with the dealer Tool (9336), this dipstick is used to measure the fluid level, and then removed and cap put back on the tube. Using:
1. You need a scan tool to measure trans fluid temp and a graph from service information specific to that vehicle that shows what the level should be max to
minimum depending on the fluid temp.
2. So you check the fluid temp with a scan tool, check the min-max range for that temp on the graph, then bottom out the dipstick into the dipstick tube till it hits the bottom of the trans pan.
3. The dipstick shows the fluid level in centimeters and you compare youre fluid level reading in CM to the graph and the indicated fluid temp.
4. So its the right tool for the job in the right hands but its a universal dipstick that alone cannot verify
the correct fluid level without knowing the trans fluid temp and having access to the correct fill graph for the vehicle in question.
TIPS:This oil dipstick is just a tool for measuring the level of the fuel tank. It needs to be taken out after the measurement and cannot be installed on the car as a part of the car.
