My friend, specializes in tranny services (is a full blown Dodge guy), that works at Jerry Ulm Dodge down there at Dale Mabry, told me that the best AT fluid you can buy is that Mopar ATF+. He even specifically said to STAY AWAY anything that has dexron\mercon on it. I'd let him do my service, but I wanna learn how to do it myself. Gives me a chance to 'bond' with the car even more. Hope this help!!!!!

Yup, that's what all the service techs say here also. For some reason, our Chrystler tranny only likes/works with the factory fluid. The dealer I go to has replaced many trannies due to other fluids.
