Transmission - PTU And RDA Fluids: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Patriot and 2009 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Mopar® CVT+4 is required in the CVT automatic transaxles.
Mopar® CVT+4 when new is green in color. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. A dark brown/black fluid accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or transmission component failure.
BG6 and T355 Manual transaxles require the use of Mopar® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
PTU and RDA use Mopar® Gear AND Axle Lubricant SAE 80W-90 API GL 5 or equivalent non-synthetic product.
