Matt,

Check your owner's manual for the Chrysler part number, but I believe that this
product from Quaker State will work, too:

http://www.quakerstate.com/pages/pro...ynchromesh.asp

I printed out a page for a Quaker State product that claimed compatibility
with the "stuff" in my '03 Wrangler's NV3350 and I think that this is it. I'll
check it out when I go home today...

John,

That's the one I was referring to, thanks again for posting that link. Any idea
what the cost is on this? Dealeship wants something like $12.00 per quart...

Sorry I did have to ask.
I changed the oil on my 01TJ at 60,000Km or 37,000Mi
and was quite surprised at the amount of filings on
the magnet. I know that filings are normal for a new transmission
but it did seem excessive. Unfortunatly I don't have the expereince to
compare with other transmissions except my Argo 6X6
After changing it with the dealer oil. I was again surprised how much
less noise it made. Wish I changed it sooner. In fact I would recommend
everyone with the NV3550 to change the oil after the first year or 30,000km.
Regards
Frank

A friend of mine bought at 2000 TJ used and when he changed the tranny oil he
found the same thing.

Interestingly neither my FSM nor the OM list tranny lube change intervals for
the 3550.
