Question What oil do you need for the CVT automatic transmission?

In the user manual of CVTF + 4. and in the service manual that CVT + 4.
Is there any difference?

CK YOUR MANUAL 1ST BUT I got mine at NAPA ...CVT BY Valvoline . it goes in GREEN... But as it gets used a while it will turn a Brown shade...DO NOT USE anything but what it calls for. My shop manual says it WILL mess up your day(in lamens terms) transmission damage and early failure.

i would only use the mopar recommended fluid as it has special anti foaming agents in the oil it is not cheap but if you put regular atf+4 in you will certainly damage the transmission if it will work at all. it should be changed at 60,000mile intervals as well to keep the foaming agents doing there job as they will loose there effectivness after this point and could potentially put the vehicle into limp mode to save the transmission.
