Default who makes atf+4

ok so after doing readings online and looking in my manual i've realized that most fluids on my truck are this type of atf and that you must use that atf for it otherwise there will be problems,

i'm mostly talking about my getrag 238 and the transfer case. well other than house brands of automotive stores and obviously mopar what is a good alternative. does royal purple max atf do the job for it?

also the power steering fluid is atf4 could i have a bottle of said atf available if i went with what say royal purple and add it into the reservoir for power steering if the need ever surfaces or would i need to swap it all over to the new brand. if so i will just keep some mopar stuff around since that's obviously what the factory put in it

Do they make Mopar oil too? When the Bankruptcy thing was going on, my dealer couldn't get Mopar oil and told me the Pennzoil was an approved replacement when I had my oil changed there a couple of times ago.

Doesn't matter. Any ATF+4 will have to meet the same specs. whether it's Valoline, pennz...etc

so i should be ok with using the royal purple atf which says it meets the requirements for ATF+4.
i figure i'll either get a rp, amsoil or mobil 1 if i can be certain it's ok and if not then i'll get it from the dealer just to be safe.

I was just curious who actually makes Mopar oil.
I know that Citgo makes Motorcraft oil.

Mopar oil is made by whomever is cheapest at the time of purchase.
