ATF+4

Need to change the trans fluid and filters in my Commander. Trans is a 545RFE.

Since ATF+4 is licensed from Chrysler is there really any difference between Mobile1, Royal Purple and say Autozones house brand?

I don't want to spend $15 a quart if the $5 a quart stuff will work just as well.

I ordered the mopar fluid online for $7.xx /qt online.

I just use the dealer atf+4 because its synthetic. It's not like you have to change the trans fluid like you do oil.

You get what you pay for!

Everything I've read is that ATF+4 IS synthetic.

I'll go middle of the road when I do it. Thanks guys!

All ATF+4 is synthetic. I have always used valvoline ATF+4 and it has always seemed great, not certain what it costs.

I wasn't aware of that at the time. I get a great deal on everything from the dealer so just went with the mopar fluid. I can't go wrong with the discount I get.

Same here. I got great prices from my dealer.

I got my steering rack listed at $964 for $699!! Love my discount.

I personally have found most common items reasonably priced at the dealer. ATF+4, filters, coolant, etc. They have been good to me at the parts counter.

I get most of my fluids from the dealer, but I get my oil and filter from Advanced Auto, being a military vet, I can beat the discount. Especially for Mobil One.
