Mopar has used the designation 7176 for a long time for it's tranny fluid (I
believe even prior to the + designation). The new ATF+4 is designated as 9602.
I have heard conflicting stories as to whether this fluid is synthetic or not.
Does anyone know? It seems if it was just a incremental improvement they would
have stayed with the 7176 designation.
I am getting ready to change my 99 Dakota's tranny fluid and now that Mobil 1
has an ATF+ that is specifically to meet the mopar ATF+3 designation I am torn
between using that and the 9602 ATF+4 fluid from the dealer. The owners manual
recomends the +3 fluid but I have seen the TSB that states they recomend the +4
now. Which is going to be a better fluid to use Mobil 1 ATF+ or the mopar 9602
+4?
I can get either for about $5/qt (my son works at the local dodge dealer and
can get me the 9602+4). Amsoil and Redline are also in consideration but cost
much more and are not as readily available.
