    NOTE :**AWA (Asian Warner) transmission are now included in this Service
    Bulletin. ATF+4(R) is recommended for AW-4 (Asian Warner) transmissions**

    NOTE :This Service Bulletin DOES NOT apply to Sprinter transmissions,
    Crossfire transmissions, MK/PM vehicles equipped with Continuously Variable
    Transmission (CVT) and WG vehicles equipped with a diesel engine (sales code
    ENF) and a W5J400 or NAG1 transmission (sales code DGJ).

    DISCUSSION:

    ATF+4(R) - (Type 9602) is being used as factory fill for Chrysler Group
    automatic transmissions. ATF+4(R) is recommended for all vehicles equipped
    with Chrysler Group automatic transmissions EXCEPT FOR THOSE LISTED IN THE
    NOTE ABOVE.

    NOTE :ATF+4(R) must always be used in vehicles that were originally filled
    with ATF+4(R). DO NOT USE ANY OTHER FLUID.

    NOTE :ATF+4(R) is backward compatible with ATF+3, ATF+2, and ATF+.
    Additionally, ATF+4(R) can be used to top off vehicles that used ATF+3,
    ATF+2, or ATF+.

    NOTE :If ATF+4® is used to service models originally filled with ATF+3,
    ATF+2, and ATF+ the fluid maintenance schedules listed for that model does
    not change. The service interval currently in effect for a given model
    should continue to be followed. Refer to the Service or Owners manual for
    maintenance schedule directions.

    In general terms, If ATF+, ATF+2 or ATF+3 was the recommended fluid, it is
    now recommended to use ATF+4®

    BENEFITS

    ^ Better anti-wear properties

    ^ Improved rust/corrosion prevention

    ^ Controls oxidation

    ^ Eliminates deposits

    ^ Controls friction

    ^ Retains anti-foaming properties

    ^ Superior properties for low temperature operation


    FLUID COLOR

    Mopar ATF+4(R) has exceptional durability. However, the red dye used in
    ATF+4(R) is not permanent; as the fluid ages it may become darker or appear
    brown in color. ATF+4(R) also has a unique odor that may change with age.
    With ATF+4(R) fluid, color and odor are no longer indicators of fluid
    condition and do not necessarily support a fluid change.

    Nitpick: its Asin-Warner, not AsiAn.

    Always remember the joke: Gears made by Asin. So when someone tells you
    to "get your ass in gear", you know where to find it.
