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 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.
