hmmmm

your site said to use ATF +4?

my manual says to use ATF +3

what gives there?

and what is the difference in "service" and "overhaul"?

You can use ATF +4 where 3 is recomended- ATF+4 is (apperantly)better fluid. Contact the dealership and consult them-If your manual says +3 then it would certainly be OK to use ATF+3. The +4 has been added since your jeep was built.

does anyone know the difference in "service" and "overhaul"?

5 quarts and 14 quarts is a big difference. didnt know if overhaul meant that draining it, will lead to me needing 14 quarts

Overhaul means all the fluid is out of the system (when you rebuild or replace a tranny). There is also fluid in the torque converter that nomally does not drain out when doing a standard fluid change. I am not real sure why there is such a difference in capacity though???
