Totally unscientific, but Chrysler wants people to use only their trans
fluid. I was able to get Dodge trans fluid at my fav parts store but it
was brand X and half the price compared to Chrysler's.
Backing up there was a shutter when under load....brand X did nothing to
help the situation.
5 Quarts of Chrysler's product was added along with a filter.
Shutter has been gone for 3 months now.
So my point is...I dunno...use what's recommended as they likely know
better??
