Power Steering Fluid for 2003 Liberty
Hi,
I went to a dealer today to pickup a bottle of power steering fluid for my
2003 Liberty. I was told from the part department that my jeep uses the
same fluid for both Automatic Transmission and Power Steering, so I ended up
with a bottle Mopar ATF+4.
I check the owner manual when I got home and notice the recommended fluid
for Power Steering Reservoir is "Mopar Power Steering Fluid (MS-5931)".
What's up with that? Did the guy get it wrong or the fluids are actually
interchangeable?
Thanks
Ron

DISCUSSION:
The factory fill power steering fluid for most 2004 model year Chrysler
Group vehicles is ATF+4 (MS9602) and it provides superior performance at
both low and high temperatures. WJ/WG and ZH vehicles use unique power
steering fluids. Refer to the table to identify factory fill and the
approved service power steering fluid by year and model. Note that MS9602 is
Red in color and MS5931 and MS9933 are Amber/Yellow in color. All three
fluids will darken in color with usage and fluid color is no longer an
indication of fluid condition.
The part numbers for MS9602 are 05013457AA (quart) and 05013458AA (gallon).
The part number for MS5931 is 04883077 (quart). The part number for MB345 is
05127381AA.
MS9602 should not be mixed or used as a "topping off" fluid on systems
requiring MS5931. On some past models, MS9602 should be used as the
replacement fluid. On these models, if a power steering system is being
serviced that results in a large fluid loss, such as a pump, hose or
gear/rack replacement, the complete system should be drained and filled with
MS9602.
NOTE :This bulletin supersedes owner's and service manuals for the vehicles
listed above that may state to use MS9933 in the power steering system, and
that may state not to use automatic transmission fluid in the power steering
system.

DISCUSSION:
The factory fill power steering fluid for most 2004 model year Chrysler
Group vehicles is ATF+4 (MS9602) and it provides superior performance at
both low and high temperatures. WJ/WG and ZH vehicles use unique power
steering fluids. Refer to the table to identify factory fill and the
approved service power steering fluid by year and model. Note that MS9602 is
Red in color and MS5931 and MS9933 are Amber/Yellow in color. All three
fluids will darken in color with usage and fluid color is no longer an
indication of fluid condition.
The part numbers for MS9602 are 05013457AA (quart) and 05013458AA (gallon).
The part number for MS5931 is 04883077 (quart). The part number for MB345 is
05127381AA.
MS9602 should not be mixed or used as a "topping off" fluid on systems
requiring MS5931. On some past models, MS9602 should be used as the
replacement fluid. On these models, if a power steering system is being
serviced that results in a large fluid loss, such as a pump, hose or
gear/rack replacement, the complete system should be drained and filled with
MS9602.
NOTE :This bulletin supersedes owner's and service manuals for the vehicles
listed above that may state to use MS9933 in the power steering system, and
that may state not to use automatic transmission fluid in the power steering
system.
