Dodge has their own fluid called ATP3 or ATF+3 which is a highly friction
modified fluid. A lot of vehicle manufacturers are tired of paying General
Motors a royalty to use Dexron III, so they have developed their own
formulas. There is a way around this problem.
A lot of aftermarket companies have developed an additive that you can add
to either the Redline or regular Dexron ATF to make it a HFM ATf. Lubeguard
is one co. - Wynn's has one, there are others.
I find it ludicrous to pay an oil company $3. + per quart to buy the
proprietary ATF's when Dexron can be modified for much less.
Drop me an email, I can get you some more info on what to buy and where to
get it for a lot less overall cost.
BTW, Pennzoil has a synthetic ATF that is only $15.56 a quart! No, I
haven't bought any.
Cheers,
Jeff "Fluids R Us" Johnson
Please note that due to a recurring typo, Fluids are spelled Fluids
I keep hitting the F key but it comes out D. I don't know what the problem is.
