FLUID
DESCRIPTION
ATF+4, TYPE 9602
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar® ATF +4.
Mopar® ATF+4, when new is red in color. The ATF+4 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+4 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.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. Before opening power
steering system, wipe the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and check the fluid level on
its dipstick. When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F), the
fluid level should read between the minimum and maximum on dipstick (GAS) or Reservoir (DIESEL). Only
add fluid when the vehicle is cold.
Use only Mopar® ATF+4 . Do not overfill the power steering system.

WARNING:
The fluid level should be checked with engine off to prevent injury from

power steering or automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the system.
Damage may result to the power steering pump and system if any other
fluid is used, and do not overfill.
NOTE:
