Love it. Got it in the transmission, rear diff and motor oil. So far it hasn't let me down. Especially how I drive my dakota haha.

Keep an eye on the tranny. They don't seem to like much except ATF+4, Royal Purple or no.

However, in the differentials and everything else, you should be good to go.

I assume you mean the auto transmission, I wonder if anyone has tried it in the manual. I believe the Getrag uses ATF as well.
