Its formulated for GM/Chevy transmissions, not for a Chrysler transmission.

Transmission fluid is not like an engine oil. It is subject to a harsh beating and functions as more than just a cooling agent. Therefore, different transmissions require different spec/ingredients to function properly and efficiently.

I too was using dexron/mercon, thinking it was ok.

Boy was I wrong...I hope this help emoji

the Jiffy Lube i work at charges 96.99 for a flush. If you are getting a quart bottle, you will need about 12 for a FULL flush. That way you will actually get 110% of the fluid out. That is to say that you will flush all the old fluid out, and some new fluid just to make sure you get it all out.
