Mobil 1 ATF is now recommended for ATF+4 apps





I noticed how it says "recommended for all Chrysler transmissions," so I e-mailed ExxonMobil and received the following responses:

Thank you for your inquiry,

The new formulation of Mobil1 ATF is already in the market at retail stores however, it will be mixed on retail shelves due to the back supply that retailers have in stock. This is the reason why I have stated to make sure the label reflects that the product meets the Ford MerconV requirement. The product that states Mobil Multi-Vehicle ATF is a synthetic blend that meets the GM DexronIII, DexronIII-H specification, Mercon, MerconV, Chrysler ATF+3 and ATF+4, the new Mobil1 ATF will meet the same exact requirements as well. Mobil1 ATF and Mobil Multi-Vehicle ATF are two different products (meets the same requirements but, Mobil1 ATF is a full synthetic and Mobil Multi-Vehicle ATF is a synthetic blend). Neither one of these products stated above will meet the Honda ATF Z-1 requirement (dealer product). You can perform a normal transmission fluid change, what is left in the torque converter will mix just fine. You can perform a complete transmission flush if you would like which will ensure 100% of the Mobil product being in your transmission. The GM Dexron VI requirement is only used on 2006 models and Mobil will produce and market a product will demand constitutes such an action.

-Matt
It is not a Chrysler licensed product. The Mobil product is tested by ExxonMobil to meet/exceed the performance requirements of the Chrysler ATF+4 requirements. ExxonMobil stands 100% behind our products if used in appropriate applications. Chrysler ATF+4 is the only licensed product, from the dealer.
I would not use this product in a transmission that is still under warranty (stick with Mopar ATF+4), but for about $1 more per quart, its an excellent fluid for those who are out-of-warranty.

I'm running Mobil 1 all around right now and if the dealer has a problem then they'd better produce a descent transmission to back up my Cummins!!!

Nuff said!

What's wrong with the 48RE?
I don't mind the 4 speed auto...Cummins has eneogh low end torque.
I rather pay the cost of rebuilding the 48Re if she blows than either the 5 speed Alli or Torqueshift...IMHO.
BTW I here that there is a new 6 speed Alli in the works for GM.
These multi speed autos are nice, but will be mighty spendy come rebuild time.
BTW I will use MOPAR ATF+4 while under warranty....and I tow real heavy...2000 lb pop up.

Recommended by whom? By Mobil 1? Wow, that inspires confidence! (And I like Mobil 1. This just isn't very impressive OR confidence inspiring.) Caveat emptor.

I'll let Dodge change my tranny fluid for the mean time. I bought that fleet service package for a reason.
