Mopar ATF+4

I'm changing out my tranny filter this weekend (just dropping the pan) and want to fill it up with Mopar ATF+4 from Walmart. Walmart's Mopar ATF+4 is synthetic - is that what comes in the truck from the factory?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, that is the correct fluid for your automatic transmission and transfer case.

Just and FYI, Mopar ATF+4 is not 100% synthetic fluid. It may contain a small amount of synthetic base stock but I doubt it being is sells for round $3.42 a qt.

Is all ATF+4 created equal?

I noticed Wallyworld had their Super Tech brand fo ATF+4 for about a $1.20
(~25%) cheaper per quart. I'm about due for my 60,000 mile fluid replacement, could save about $20 using the super tech instead of the Mopar fluid. Any thoughts?

(BTW, I admit I'm a cheapskate- you don't need to point it out.)

I am also a little thrifty from time to time. I hate to pay almost $2.00 for a coke at McD's....................But I will not shoot reloads, and for the $20 bucks for the tranny fluid I'll use the "Mopar" and not worry about it.

Valvoline makes the ATF+4 for Mopar. Just so everyone knows.

Thanks for the input. The changing of the filter was pretty easy. What was confusing and the reason for my original post, was one Walmart had the Mopar ATF+4 but no mention at all about synthetic, the second Walmart had the same exact bottle with all the same markings but it did say synthetic. A little confusing - at least to me...
