Who makes the best ATF4 fluid?

I would say Amsoil. I think Redline and Mobil 1 are rated ATF4? Have not tried Redline but would assume it would be in the ballpark along with Mobil 1.
If you want the best you would want a full syn fluid.

Wall-Mart
the valvoline worked great in the 01 eclipse with the sport shift that was backwards.
I've had good results with the Redline C+.
Let me rephrase, the best easily available ATF4. Im talking major brands or easily available on a shelf brand.
Supposedly, the licensing specifications for ATF+4 are so stringent that the difference, if any, between a house brand and a name brand is marginal to non existent.
But, how do we know. I still trust a name brand over a house brand and with some careful shopping, the prices are not much different. Just my .02.

I have noticed slightly different shifts between two store brands of ATF+4. In my 46RE, Supertech did not downshift as smoothly as Coastal.
The Coastal product was also a prettier color, for what it's worth.

Well it was 30 cents per quart difference at Wal Mart between ST and Valvoline, so I went with the Valvoline.
Now it actually moves. My friends car wouldnt even move or engage the gears the filter was so tightly plugged. Now its quiet and shifting again. I plan on doing it again in 1000 miles when we change the oil to get more of the old fluid out.

No I got the ATF4 specific valvoline.
You chose wisely.
Personally, I use the AAP house brand ATF+4. It's cheap enough, and works fine. For the most part, ATF+4 is the same regardless of manufacturer, due to Chrysler's very tight specs.

Who is the OEM supplier for chrysler. I think they switched companys recently but who was the OEM supplier for ATF+4 back two or three years ago when my truck was made. Im going to be changing fluid pretty soon and just want to stick with the same brand fluid that came with my vehicle.
