When I swapped out my vb recently, I installed valvoline atf+4. Seems like a good fluid, deff. a darker red than the factory atf+f. I guess it's just the formulation.

Cheaper too! I got a quote from my dealer the other day for bulk.......$24 and change for a gallon! Bring your own gallon jug though! Beats the heck out of $38 something for the Mopar brand gallon jug!

Syn. trans. fluid formulated to meet the requirements of ATF +4. It's supposed to work better cold than other fluids. For more info go to the Redline website.

When I had my trans built I asked the same
question. I was told Mopar was as good as
any.

Yes Mopar & Valvoline ATF is good but full synthetic group IV or V fluid is better.
