* Automatic Transmission: Most likely, it used Dexron-III automatic transmission fluid. However, always double-check your owner's manual for the specific recommendation from Dodge. Using the wrong fluid can damage your transmission.
* Manual Transmission: If it's a manual transmission, it likely used a GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil. Again, your owner's manual will provide the exact specification.
Finding the Information:
1. Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source. Look for a section on fluids and lubricants or transmission maintenance.
2. Transmission Dipstick: Sometimes, the recommended fluid type is printed on the dipstick itself.
3. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): A mechanic or parts store can use your VIN to identify the exact transmission and fluid type.
Do not guess. Using the incorrect transmission fluid can severely damage your transmission. Always consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic before adding any fluids.
