Default VALVOLINE ATF+4?

Did some checking around and i see that Valvoline makes a ATF+4. Any comments on whether or not it can be used on our vehicles?

I used Valvoline when I did my tranny, but yes, any name-brand ATF+4 is fine. I bought a couple of quarts of Mopar from Wally-World for my power steering.

Mopar does not manufacture it's own fluids, they source it out. Very well could be Valvoline. As long as it is AFT+4 you are ok. My service station gives me Amsoil for the same price and have not had any issues.

when using ATF+4 for the powersteering fluid....does it have to be replaced by the ATF+4, or can i just top it off with the ATF+4.

dont know if i should drain the powerstering fluid and replace it all with the ATF+4 or just top it off on top of the powersteering fluid with ATF+4

The power steering fluid IS ATF+4. You're not necessarily replacing the fluid (less'n it's leakin')
