Default Mobil 1 ATF okay for our transmission?

Anyone use Mobil 1 ATF for our Durango transmissions or must I go to the stealership and get the Mopar approved ATF? I plan on changing out the transmission filter and fluids this weekend.


Thanks.

I believe that the Chrysler one is also synthetic too.

Does anyone here use Mobil 1 or other synthetics other than the Mopar products for their transmission?


I am assuming MOBIL 1 ATF is fine then but 12qts a guy at the part stores stated 4 qts only?

according to the book of all knowing
4qts for drain and refill
9-11 qts for dry fill (depending on model and options)
every 37,500 or 30 months for fluid and filter

I added Amsoil ATF to my 98 D and has had no problems.
