Answer 1

Chrysler ATF+3 or +4 will work.

Valvoline Maxlife ATF will also work for this application.

Answer 2

Jeep Cherokee 1998

Answer 3

ATF+4 should be used for all newer Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles. You can use ATF+3 if you can find it. It is the cheaper and older spec that is used on older Chrysler transmissions.

ATF+3 and ATF+4 have friction modifiers. They are very different from Dexron. Do not use Dexron in a Chrysler transmission, unless it is an older car whose manual lists Dexron as an acceptable fluid. Doing so will ruin the transmission eventually.

From Chevron:
"DaimlerChrysler has had their own ATF specifications for many years, but as of 1997, Chrysler owners' manuals no longer list DEXRON as an acceptable replacement. ATF+3 is a readily available mineral oil-based ATF that is suitable in any application calling for ATF PLUS® , ATF+2® , or a Type 7176® fluid. Vehicles manufactured after 1999 require ATF+4® , a synthetic-based ATF only available through DaimlerChrysler."

The last part is outdated. Chrysler licensed Valvoline, Castrol, and others to market ATF+4.

You can find ATF+3 and/or ATF+4 from parts stores and Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has both Mopar and aftermarket fluids. If you use ATF+3, replace the fluid every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. ATF+4 lasts longer and performs better. It is a synthetic fluid. Read the Allpar website (cited below) for more info.

Answer 5

Dextron ATF+3

Answer 6

If you have a responsible manufacturer, Ha Ha, the type of transmission fluid the vehicle takes is stamped into the steel dipstick. And in the owners manual and maintenance records. Manual tranny's will take good old motor oil and automatics take good old "pink" tranny fluid that is really pink oil with some antiwear additives. Leave it in there long enough and it will turn black just like any dirty oil. MOPAR uses that same DEXRON stuff, newer models use the newest stuff and older models use the older DEXRON stuff.

Answer 7

Check with your local parts store. Also look on your dip stick there should be a chrysler # for the grade of fluid and then write this number down take it with you and look on the back of the quarts of trans fluid at the parts store and compare it. I think Dexron 3 would be ok unless you have a standard.
