    Can anyone recommend a cheap source for ATF4 in the USA? Apart from being
    difficult to find, the best price I see is about $7/qt. for Mopar stuff.

    TIA

    I believe only MoPar dealers carry it (approx $7-$8 a quart). I too wish
    there was a cheaper source.

    I haven't bought any in a year or two, but at that time, I was able to
    buy it routinely at my local dealer for $4.80 to $5.20/qt. (above $5/qt.
    by the qt., below $5/qt. by the gallon). Based on previous discussions
    here, there appears to be a lot of variation in the pricing among
    dealers, perhaps prices are determined regionally (by local competiive
    pressures and attitudes/philosophies of dealers). My guess is lower
    prices in southern rural areas, higher prices in northern urban areas -
    just a theory.

    Just had my AT fluid changed in my 300M. Last time they put in an additive
    for $8. Told them NO additives this time. Service writer said it was good
    for the left over fluid they can't change. Told him no additives. Probably
    my imagination but car seems to shift slightly better this time around
    without the additive (yes I realize there is a bit left in there).

    No longer true. I just spotted Mopar-branded ATF+4 at my local Murray's
    Auto Parts for $6-something/quart.
    No kidding. I wonder how long the Mopar brand will retain its exclusive
    right to produce it.

    I bought ATF+4 from the following dealer (located in Galeana, SC) for about
    $15-$16 a gallon over the web. As I recall, there was a shipping charge,
    but I bought 3 gallons, 2 MOPAR filters and the re-usable metal/silicone
    gaskets at the same time for two different Chrysler vehicles so the shipping
    was not much on a per gallon basis. Overall cost was about 60% of the cost
    if I had purchased this all from one of my local Chrysler dealers. The only
    drawback was it took about 5-7 days to arrive after placing the order.

    If you have any questions, talk to Jasper at the dealer's parts counter via
    phone or email. he was very helpful.
