FLUIDDESCRIPTION
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar ATF+4, MS 9602.
Mopar ATF+4, MS 9602, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition, As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL.
