On a lighter note, just get the stuff from Wally World. ATF+4 is ATF+4 is ATF+4, regardless of who's name is on the bottle. It's not made any cheaper or easier, it's not a byproduct, it's not "crap oil" like some would say, it's just a cheaper bottle of OEM Mopar-approved ATF+4. Save yourself some money, get it from Wally World. (SuperTech brand).

Quote:
Manufacturers can make ATF+4 fluids, but to use the trademarked ATF+4 name in their compatibility list, they must have their fluids tested and licensed by Chrysler engineers, and must use Lubrizol in their formulations. Licensed fluids are periodically sampled from stores to assure quality.
Taken from Allpar.com:Chrysler transmission fluids: 7176, ATF+3, ATF+4
