DESCRIPTION
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage
by the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI
symbol (Fig. 1) on the label. At the bottom NLGI
symbol is the usage and quality identification letters.
Wheel bearing lubricant is identified by the letter
ªGº. Chassis lubricant is identified by the latter ªLº.
The letter following the usage letter indicates the
quality of the lubricant. The following symbols indi-
cate the highest quality.
When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corpo-
ration recommends that only MOPARtbrand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. MOPARtprovides
the best engineered products for servicing
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID - NAG1
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for
fluid level checking procedures.
Use ATF approved to MB 236.10, MB 236.12, such
as Shell ATF 3403/M-115, MOPARtpart number
05127382AA, Fuchs/Shell ATF 3353, or equivalent.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is red in color
when new. The ATF 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, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and
may eventually become brown.This is normal.
FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various ªspecialº additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been sup-
ported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additivesmust not be used.The use of trans-
mission ªsealersº should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.

Do not blend other specific fuel additives with die-
sel fuel. They only result in unnecessary cost, and
may be harmful to the engine operation.
POWER STEERING FLUID
No fluid service required. Filled with Power Steer-
ing Fluid approved to MB 236.3, such as Mobil
ATF-D (Exxon Mobil Corporation) or equivalent.
OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based
upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a high
level of protection for the internal components by
providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal
components. The fluid must also be thermally stable
so that it can maintain a consistent viscosity through
a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays con-
stant through the temperature range of operation,
transmission operation and shift feel will remain con-
sistent. Transmission fluid must also be a good con-
ductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the
internal transmission components and transfer that
heat to the transmission case.
