Nitro Junkie,
I will fess up and tell you that I was "HelpDeskDak". I just don't want to be perceived as over marketing Amsoil. However, guilt got the best of me so now I will post this for the benefit of those that don't want to go to the other post link that I recommended.
--------------------------------------------------
For all Dakota owners and those of you who may own additional vehicles which are not Dodge Dakotas:
AMSOIL Synthetic ATF provides outstanding high and low temperature performance and oxidation stability. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF also improves fuel efficiency, reduces transmission temperatures and increases equipment life. The service life of the universal AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is up to five times the service life of conventional ATFs.
Since 1999, due to the special requirements of their automatic transmissions, Chrysler has recommended a unique ATF+4 formulation. In addition, Chrysler has been recommending ATF+4 for all previous makes and models of Chrysler Corporation vehicles. The new AMSOIL Synthetic ATF exceeds the performance specifications for Chrysler ATF+, +2, +3, and +4 as well as MS-7176 A, B, C, D, & E; MS-9602 A, B, & C. as well as Ford Mercon or General Motors Dexron III applications. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is available in quarts, quart cases, twin packs, 30-gallon and 55-gallon drums.
Let me know if I can help. (that's all I ask)

Royal Purple WILL work in the late model transmissions - ATF+4 is a semi-synthetic transmission fluid (nothing special about it). I've got two dealers out here using the Royal Purple on their vehicles.
On a transmission fluid change - 2 gallons (2.2 if you drain the convertor). The small amount left in the transmission cooler isn't enough to hurt the performance of the new fluid...but you can flush it by removing the cooler lines from the transmission, use some compressed air to blow it out (be careful of your eyes and paint though), and reconnect the lines before filling. Don't forget a new filter and Mopar trans-pan gasket (those cork ones really suck).
Amsoil claims to "exceed" the specs...but do they actually meet them. Anyone can go above and beyond...but compliancy is a whole other ball-game. ;)
