    My 2000 minivan's manual says I need it, but all the stores carry is ATF+3. They say "its not available yet" - but, man, its been 4 years! :af:

    Why don't the parts stores carry it? Only the dealers sell it! :Dou:

    Part's stores don't carry it,because Daimler will not allow them to.It is a special patent on the formula from what I can understand.The sad part is,if it calls for +4 you have to use it.That is why so many people complain about Chryslers transmissions,people use the wrong tranny fluid and screw up the trans.Don't take any chances,pay the extra for +4.

    when i changed the trans fluid in my 97 intrepid i was able to find the +4 at murrays believe it or not. its like 6-7 bucks a quart. then after i changed the fluid i went to the dealer and bought 2 bottles of trans anti-foam by renault. this helps keeps the trans fluid from foaming. it helped the shifts on my car, made them a little more precise.

    oh yeah one more thing, don't use dexron/mercon. it will destroy the trans real quick. just in case
