2015 jeep patriot transmission fluid dipstick location

There is no trans dipstick, they attempted to cover it up. There should be a warning sticker saying something like this is a closed system. It's basically blocking the fill tube for the trans. On my 2010, it's located near the rad, not sure where it is on your model, but basically look for that sticker.

The 2014 Jeep Patriot does not come with a transmission dipstick. If Your Patriot is equipped with a CVT, the fluid filler tube is located next to the air intake and levels can be checked with an aftermarket dipstick that must be purchased separately. If Your SUV features an automatic 6 liter engine the reservoir is accessed from the top of the transmission. You must remove a bolt to be able to reach the filler neck. A standard transmission flush and fill for the Jeep Patriot costs $120-$140 in parts and labor. Signs fluid levels may be low or d***y include leaking, slipping gears, burning odors and whining.

The engine in your 2012 Jeep Patriot 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 Patriot and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your Patriot is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your Patriot, 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 Patriot, 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.

Why is there no transmission dipstick?

If you have a late-model car, it may not have a dipstick for checking the transmission fluid. Not only does this make it difficult to check fluid level and condition, it also eliminates the dipstick tube or opening through that fluid is normally added to an automatic transmission.
