Power Steering Fluid

POWER STEERING FLUID

NON SRT VEHICLES

Non-SRT vehicles are equipped with Electro Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) systems and require power steering fluid which meets material specification MS-11655 or equivalent.

SRT VEHICLES

The recommended fluid for the power steering system for SRT vehicles is Mopar(R) Power Steering fluid + 4 or Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid. Both fluids have the same material standard specifications (MS-9602).

Mopar(R) ATF+4 (and Mopar(R) Power Steering fluid + 4), when new, is red in color. ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, ATF+4 will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
