O'Reilly / Checker ATF +4
Stopped by my local Checker Auto last night and noticed they are now carrying O'Reilly branded oils, specifically ATF+4 transmission oil....
a buck cheaper per quart than the valvoline too.. (~$4.50 ea) states on the label meets Chrysler specs.. Anyone have opinions on this? |
If it meets ATF +4 specs I don't see why it wouldn't work fine.

Mopar ATF+4 can be had at Wal Mart for less than $5 per quart.

I've found recently that some stores in affluent areas do not stock 15W-40 motor oil or oil filters for diesels. I'm sure it's a function of volume, but it sure sucks.
Fortunately my ghetto wal mart at Tatum and Bell still has ammo and stuff for diesels. |
My transmission guy says to stick with Mopar ATF+4. He's not a fan of the Valvoline or other off brands of ATF+4. He has seen and has even demostrated to me how the Mopar seems to stick better to gears and bearings.

Yep, i've always run only Mopar ATF+4....before and after having it built. 139K on it now....shifts great. It was built at 88K by an authorized DTT builder. He put ATF +4 in it. .. |
My local Wally world did not have any Mopar in stock when I changed my fluid 15K ago. I ended up using Pennzoil ATF + 4 and everything is running fine. Shift & Temps running the same as the Mopar fluid it replaced. Like Texas said, the fluid must meet the requirements to be labeled ATF + 4, so I am not overly concerned. I have not seen threads on transmissions going out due to non Mopar ATF use.
