Jeep Patriot Manual Transaxle Fluid

[homac]

Is there a full synthetic or higher quality replacement for Mopar ATF 4+ MS-9602 Transmission Fluid? (Mopar Part #05013457AA)

Perhaps this ATF 4+ Transmission Fluid is the best out there. The vehical is being used under heavy service and has a 5 speed manual transmission. More concerned about wear then price.

I was under the impression that ATF +4 is a high quality fluid. Maybe Amsoil ATF would be another option?

The Mopar ATF+4 is marketed as a full synthetic (the new bottles say full synthetic, the older ones didn't) but I would imagine it's a grpIII synthetic.
I also have a manual transmission that specs ATF+4 and was looking for a better alternative. After reading old threads on here, the general consensus seems to be that Royal Purple Synchromax is the only thing available with similar viscosity to ATF.
