 Subject: Tranny fluid type?
IP: Logged
Message:
hey guys. quick question for ya'll. i have a 99 durango 5.2L with the 4 speed auto i believe, the owner's manual doesn't state a type of atf to use. can i use royal purple's full syn. dexron III? or do i HAVE to go to the dealer to pick up that over-priced expensive sh!t? one other question too, my right side of the engine (right side when sitting in the truck) has a clicking sound coming from it, could it be dirty injectors? it's not really loud, so i dont think it's valve train related. what's the best was to clean them? thanks for the help guys.

|  Amsoil Synthetic Universal ATF Fluid - Amzoil
IP: Logged
Message:
Daimler Chrysler Corp. recommends that all vehicles with Chrysler automatic transmissions be serviced with ATF+4.
Chrysler went from ATF+ (MS 7176B) to ATF+2 to ATF+3 to ATF+4 in less than ten years. Essentially they were trying to make up for shifting problems in some of their transmissions by "tweaking" the frictional properties of their fluid rather than recalling the affected units. The ATF+4 fluid does seem to have solved the problems with some of the transmissions from the 1990's.
I know many Dodge owners that have noticeable and significant improvements switching to Amsoil Synthetic Universal ATF. They state that the transmission characteristics are better than when it was new, and better than when using ATF+4.

Automotic Transmission Fluids
Automatic Transmission Fluids are a thin dino, sythetic, or blend "base" oil with anti-foam, anti-oxidation, red dye and other additives, with a very high level of dispersants and little or no detergents.The main difference between one type of ATF and another is the amount of friction modifier additive for control of servo clutch action. Type F contains no Friction Modifier, Dexron/Mercon contaion a moderate amount and Chrysler "ATF+__" contains the most.
The transmission does not get "dirty" inside like an engine, ... but it does need to keep the clutch band particles, etc., from settling and clogging valve, passages, etc. Basically, ATF is a hydraulic oil ... with the specific additive package for transmissions, plus the red dye for identification.
__________________________________________________
WHY SYNTHETIC vs. NON-SYNTHETIC's or BLENDS ???
In General ... A 100% TRUE "Synthetic" ATF FLOWS BETTER WHEN COLD, DOES NOT GET AS HOT, AND BREAKS DOWN AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE ... than conventional crude petroleum ATF, and thus SYNTHETIC ATF's HAVE A LONGER WORKING LIFE.
Specifically, ... Amsoil Synthetic Universal ATF
- improves fuel efficiency
- reduces transmission temperatures
- increases transmission life
- provides unsurpassed thermal stability
- and offers up to five times the service life of conventional ATFs
- maximum protection for towing and other severe-duty applications.
__________________________________________________
Why Amsoil? AMSOIL SYNTHETIC UNIVERSAL ATF resists thermal and oxidative degradation up to THREE TO FIVE TIMES LONGER than conventional transmission fluids do. It protects clutches, planetary gears, valves, pumps and seals from damaging sludge and varnish deposits. AMSOIL ATF helps prevent component overheating and ensures cooler, smoother transmission operation.
AMSOIL ATF outperforms petroleum fluids in low temperature fluidity. In fact, AMSOIL ATF offers three times the cold temperature fluidity required by current automatic transmission fluid specifications. AMSOIL ATF provides easier starting, faster warm-ups, smoother shifting and improved fuel economy.
AMSOIL ATF is formulated for EXTENDED DRAIN INTERVALS. Transmissions usually operate under severe service conditions. They are subjected to extensive idling, frequent short trips, cold temperature driving, sustained hot weather driving or trailer towing. When conventional transmission fluid is used, it should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. AMSOIL ATF should be changed at intervals up to three times longer than the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer.
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid is completely compatible with other synthetic and petroleum automatic transmission fluids. AMSOIL ATF is a universal, multifunctional fluid and greatly reduces the need for specialized fluid inventories and the possibilities of misapplication.

Unless you're gonna drain EVERYTHING out of the
tranny system including the converter, I'd stick
to what the factory put in, Chrysler's ATF+4
N O T Amsoil! Amsoil is fine if starting from
zero fluid in system.
Chrysler is ALWAYS looking for ways to void a
warranty. Mixing ATF+4 that is still in your
converter with Amsoil in my book, NOT a good idea.
Pay the over priced dealer for their ATF+4
UNLESS you do a COMPLETE fluid change.
