Any of these symptoms on a 2016 Ram ProMaster Window Van driven in Central Massachusetts warrants a prompt check.

A drain-and-fill replaces only the fluid in the pan, while a full exchange replaces most of the system’s fluid; inspection and service history determine the right choice.

We do not default to the more expensive option—your van’s condition drives the decision.

• Drain-and-fill: lower cost, partial refresh
