That's been replaced with TSB #19-007-01 (New Power Steering Fluid - ATF+4 -
Factory Fill and Service).

ATF+4 is the recommended fluid - Do NOT use the older Mopar Fluid...it can
gel up in the winter and blow lines...summertime causes fluid to be too thin
and makes the pump "moan").

I don't think I would chance it...
"CAUTION: Use MOPAR Power Steering Fluid or equivalent. Do not use automatic
transmission fluid and do not overfill." (2000 FSM - Section 19, Page 7)
