Transmission fluid stick

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Checking the transmission fluid on your Commander isn’t as straightforward as popping the hood and looking for a dipstick. In fact, most 2006 Jeep Commanders with the 5-speed automatic transmission don’t have a traditional dipstick. Instead, Jeep has a sealed system that requires a special tool to check the fluid level, usually accessed through a fill tube cap under the hood. Your best bet is to have a mechanic check it for you or, if you're feeling adventurous, get the special dipstick tool to measure it yourself. If you need any further advice or if you'd like help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
