possibly ATF +4?
Got a 99 Cirrus 2.5L v6, manual states mopar power steering fluid, so that's useless.
Amsoil's site says ATF +4, Alldata says MS9933 which upon all the research I've done, was only a factory fill and is not supposed to be mixed with +4. Every Dodge site I've visited is merely quoting the TSB from AllData's site (it looks like).
But nobody will come out & say to use ATF +4, there's more warnings against it than for it.
So to the experts.. anyone know what MS9933 would be equivalent to? I've looked on the back of a couple Sta-Lube PS fluids and they give mopar spec numbers, but nothing that I can use.
My hesitation is because my neighbor has an 01 Durango, his owners manual says to use ATF +4, the Durango forums he's on say to use it. So when i put the new pressure hose on, I used it. He had a lot of steering issues. I went to Alldata, it came back with a line that states the first part of 01 you use PS fluid, the latter you use ATF +4. So I turkey bastered out the +4 I put in, and put regular PS fluid in. after 5 drain & fills he came back from his test drive and said the steering was as it was before.
So I dodged that bullet! Plus, I only added a quart of +4 all together, but had to use 4quarts of PS to drain/fill.
So I'm hesitant to mess around with fluids.
The oil in it now is clean, I'm confidant it's not +4, it does look like a PS fluid, the steering's fine on it. but I want to put the right thing in.
Any ideas?
Just called the dealership, MS5931 is what's supposed to be used for the 1999 Cirrus via VIN#.
Let my confusion begin..
