Discussion:
ATF+4� - (Type 9602) is being used as factory fill for Chrysler Group automatic
transmissions. ATF+4� is recommended for all vehicles equipped with Chrysler
Group automatic transmissions EXCEPT FOR THOSE NOTED ABOVE.

NOTE: ATF+4� must always be used in vehicles that were originally filled with
ATF+4�. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER FLUID.

NOTE: ATF+4� is backward compatible with ATF+3 , ATF+2, and ATF+. Additionally,
ATF+4 can be used to top off vehicles that used ATF+3, ATF+2, or ATF+.

NOTE: If ATF+4� is used to service models originally filled with ATF+3 , ATF+2, and
ATF+ the fluid maintenance schedules listed for that model does not change.
The service interval currently in effect for a given model should continue to
be followed. Refer to the Service or Owners manual for maintenance
schedule directions.

In general terms, If ATF+, ATF+2 or ATF+3 was the recommended fluid, it is now
recommended to use ATF+4.

BENEFITS

Better anti-wear properties
Improved rust/corrosion prevention
Controls oxidation
Eliminates deposits
Controls friction
Retains anti-foaming properties
Superior properties for low temperature operation
FLUID COLOR

Mopar ATF+4� has exceptional durability. However, the red dye used in ATF+4� is not
permanent; as the fluid ages it may become darker or appear brown in color. ATF+4� also
has a unique odor that may change with age. With ATF+4� fluid, color and odor are no
longer indicators of fluid condition and do not necessarily support a fluid change.

Without special equipment it is possible to replace only ATF in the AT pan because of the way automatic transmission in 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been designed. It will take about 30–90 minutes depends on your skill level and might save you up to $200 depends on the region you live in.

With a spanner or a retched with the right size head unscrew the refill plug and the drain plug. After that drain old AT fluid. If you want to replace the filter you need to remove the ATF pan, replace the filter and then install the ATF pan back with a new gasket. Screw back the drain plug with a new gasket and refill the transmission with new ATF.

Please be noted that all capacities listed here are approximate. Check fluid levels when adding or refilling as recommended in your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee user's manual. Keep in mind that all information here is provided “as is” without any warranty of any kind.
