The 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 requires ATF +4 Transmission Fluid and has a capacity of around 9 quarts. Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant, protecting the transmission's components from heat-related damage, much like oil does for an engine. The cost of a transmission fluid change for your Ram typically ranges from $90 to $110 for labor, with parts costing around $80. It is recommended to have your transmission fluid changed every 60,000 miles. Signs that your vehicle may need a transmission fluid change include a grinding noise from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden unexpected surges, and delayed movement after placing the vehicle in gear. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is likely time for a transmission fluid change.
