Power Steering Fluid: Description and Operation
FLUID
DESCRIPTION
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid (MS-9602).
Mopar ATF+4, when new, is red in color. ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or
antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, ATF+4 will begin to look darker in color
and may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color
cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
