What kind of transmission fluid does a Dodge Intrepid take?
ATF+4
What happens if I use the wrong transmission fluid?
Using the wrong fluid can cause poor lubrication, overheating, and possibly transmission failure. A mechanic might not be able to reverse the damage, even by flushing the transmission. Mistakenly adding motor oil or brake fluid can also destroy your transmission.
What is compatible with ATF 4?
It is fully compatible with all transmissions that require Mopar ATF +®, Mopar ATF+2™ and Mopar ATF+3™. Valvoline ATF + 4 is for use in all applications specifying Mopar ATF+4 or Type MS-9602 fluid.
What’s the difference between ATF 3 and ATF 4?
Graphs in the paper show that the friction coefficient of fresh ATF+3 and ATF+4 is essentially identical, but as the fluid ages ATF+4 retains the “as new” coefficient while ATF+3 degrades.
Is ATF 4 the same as dexron 4?
ATF+4 has specific additives designed for specific Chrysler transmissions. The additives and the make up of the fluid keeps the transmission working properly. If you put the wrong fluid in at best it won’t shift right, at worst it will ruin the transmission. Dexron is the same thing only for Chevy vehicles.
What is ATF 3 transmission fluid?
ATF III F is a mineral based automatic transmission fluid, especially developed for automatic transmissions built by GM, Ford and many other manufactures. The high viscosity index fluid offers resistance against corrosion and foam building. The product also has good anti oxidation and anti wear properties.
Is Synthetic Transmission Fluid better?
A synthetic fluid has the capability of providing your transmission with a smoother operation. Because of superior engineering, the synthetic fluid is better at lubricating your transmission and is able to sustain its viscosity in a broad temperature range. This will likely be true even with variations in temperatures.
