It's a semi-synthetic with anti-foam, friction modifiers, and cleaning
additives in it. Want to keep your warranty? Stick with Mopar ATF+4...just
in case.

Subject: DML: Mobil 1 ATF+ and Mopar 9602 +4 (was:RedLine MTL in T-case???)

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.
