I was interested in using redline oil products to change my transmission fluid. I couldn't figure out which one of their fluids would work with my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport SE (2wheel drive). So I wrote an e-mail to redline and they replied I should use: "In your Dodge Caravan automatic transaxle I would recommend the Red Line C+ATF." Does that sounds right? Wouldn't want to put the wrong fluids in my transmission. Thanks.

I got this info from allpar.com (somewhat paraphrased) :

They recommend using nothing but Mopar ATF (+3/+4, depending on what the tranny dipstick says and what your manual says) fluid. It appears that Chrysler transmissions are very sensitive to the type of fluids used, and anything else may shorten the lifespan of the transmission.
