Chrysler transmissions generally require an "anti-friction" additive due to how they operate and have those super-smooth seeming shifts. Our minivan requires that stuff....its called "ATF +4" Pretty expensive too...thankfully it only holds 5qts and doesn't leak. The mobil 1 saying it will work in chrysler vehicles could mean it has such an additive, which may not be so good to the innards of our pre-historic trannies. I'm sticking with the Valvoline Dexron VI or Amsoil....but the Valvoline is way cheaper, and I replace the fluid/filter yearly....
