Hi Guys.
According to some Jeep forums there seems to be some confusion around the power steering fluid used in the 2005-2010 Grand Cherokee. These are the systems used by the 5.7 and 3.0CRD. Namely the ones where the power steering pump also operates the cooling fan.
For years Chrysler have been saying that only MS-10838 hydraulic fluid is used and definately NOT ATF+4. It seems that the MS-10838 is becoming more difficult to source and now Chrysler are saying it is ok to use ATF+4!!!! What is going on here?
I noticed that Lubeguard steering fluid is suitable for many power steering systems requiring ATF specs but also MS-10838.
I suppose my question is this. With regard to power steering what is the difference between MS-10838 and ATF+4?
Thanks.
