Sticker Shock Anyone?

[KHitman]

After driving the car to VOI and back, plus doing a driving school, I figured it was time to replace all the fluids. I head to my local Dodge dealer and my heart skipped a beat when they told me $140 for the following:

4 quarts tranny fluid
2 quarts rear end fluid
1 bottle of the limited slip additive
1 quart power steering fluid

I opted out of getting the $17/Gal antifreeze. I think i'll go with Prestone.

Learn something new every day. Never seen a $26 qt of gear lube before. Sheesh... I was just starting to get used to the $70 oil changes...

I think I spent just a hair over $100.00 for the same stuff minus the power steering fluid.

The tranny fluid is the most expensive item per quart.

I think I got a little shafted then... The power steering fluid was only $5

Those guys behind the parts counter at your local dodge dealership come up with their own prices. The next time in the dealership ask him for "his best price". I always do that and manage to get a little discount after.

Factory fill? The Mopar tranny and diff fluids alone are $20/qt.
