Hiho, Jason
Doesn't look like anyone will say type 7176 = atf +3 directly.
In a way, type 7176 is a subset of atf +3 (how's that from an
retired-ex-Math teacher?).
DaimlerChrysler has had their own ATF specifications for many years,
but as of 1997, Chrysler owners' manuals no longer list DEXRON as
an acceptable replacement. ATF+3 is a readily available mineral
oil-based ATF that is suitable in any application calling for
ATF PLUS®, ATF+2®, or a Type 7176® fluid.
Vehicles manufactured after 1999 require ATF+4®, a synthetic-based
ATF only available through DaimlerChrysler.
The MotorMaster ATF+3 from Canadian Tire is aok. I used it before
going to Amsoil ATF +4 (so much for 'only available thru DC).
If you can wait til Sep. 15, I've 7 liters of the Canadian Tire ATF+3
in the basement.
