DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

FLUID

NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for

fluid level checking procedures.

Mopart ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is

the recommended fluid for DaimlerChrysler automatic

transmissions.

Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch

chatter can result from the use of improper

fluid.

Mopart ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid

when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it

can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle

such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not

permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition.

As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look

darker in color and may eventually become brown.

This is normal. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that

may change with age. Consequently, odor and color

cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the

need for a fluid change.
