Transmission Fluid: Notes

Mopar® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-Type 9602) is required in the 4XTE automatic transaxles. Substitute fluids can induce torque converter clutch shudder.

Mopar® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-Type 9602) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal.  A dark brown/black fluid accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or transmission component failure.

G288 and T350 Manual transaxles require the use of Mopar® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
