TRANSMISSION SCREW-ON FILTER, 68RFE (4WD & 2WD) - MOPAR ('07.5-'24, 6.7L)

Due to my personality and liking everything "over-engineered" I purchased this pan to add additional fluid to my transmission with the intention of slower heat fluctuation during warm-up, cool-down, and more fluid that theoretically will take longer to break-down in-between service intervals. The added drain plug is a bonus to make changes much easier and cleaner. I like that the pan came with all the hardware required, including an allen wrench (in case you do not have one). While I hate to complain about free, I do have one gripe. Buying through Geno's, you receive a free sump filter. HOWEVER, it does not come with the o-ring. I know you do not need to replace IF the existing one is in good shape BUT the only way to find out is when you have the pan dropped and can inspect it. When your vehicle is immobilized is not the best way to find out you do not have everything you need to complete your work. I went out and bought a new filter just to have the o-ring on hand if I need it, which will have cost me an additional $30. Will return it if I do not. Is this a huge deal? Should this change your decision to purchase this pan? No and no. I still think this is a nice pan but it was something I was considering, why I went with this pan versus a different one that received very high praise. I figured the savings with not needing to buy a sump filter trumped the other pan. I "dinged" the rating by 1-star for this. Overall, pleased with the product and of course pleased with Geno's Garage as they have great service, selection and VERY quick delivery.
