as factory fill for all vehicles with Chrysler Automatic Transmissions.
Untill now vehicles originaly filled with ATF+2 or ATF+3 were to be serviced
with ATF+3. effective immediately, it is recommended that all vehicles with
Chrysler Automatic transmissions except for 1999 and earlier minivans be
serviced with ATF+4. ATF+3 should be continued to used for 1999 and earlier
because of protental for torque converter shudder during break in.  for all
other the ATF+$ fluid ofers significant benifits as outlined below.

Note: ATF+4 Must always be used in vehicles that were origanaly filled with
ATF+4
Note: Service intervals do not change. the service interval currently in
effect for a given vehicle should continued to be followed.
Note: ATF+4 is compatibale with ATF+# and can be used to top off vehicles
that currently have ATF+2 or ATF+3. Do not use ATF+2 or ATF+3 to top off
vehicles that have ATF+4 fluid.
