   As long as you get the correct viscocity and the fluid meets the
GL-5 spec, you will be fine (both from a performance and warranty
standpoint). The Mopar fluids are pretty expensive, check out a
local parts store (Autozone, Pep Boys, etc.) for fluids that are
easier on the wallet; you will probably find a bunch made by Mobil,
Pennzoil, Coastal, etc. (The Mopar fluid is probably one of those
anyway.) :-)
