I am getting supplies together to flush my 13 JKU power steering system and was told to only use Mopar Power Steering +4

Went to the dealer , who says they dont carry the Power Steering +4 , but their computer says ATF + 4 is OK if the Power Steering Fluid is NA.

BTW, the Power Steering +4 is clear, ATF +4 is of course red.

My fluid is pink which led me to believe I got water in the system- now I think maybe previous owner topped off the stock clear with some ATF

Sooo.. Is there any reason to not just use ATF +4? Parts guy at local store said they are NOT the same fluids...

Thanks!!

 

This is from the 2013 Owner's Manual:

Power Steering Reservoir
We recommend you use MOPAR® Power Steering Fluid +4,
MOPAR® ATF+4® Automatic Transmission Fluid.


This is from the 2012 factory service manual:

Mopar Power Steering Fluid +4*

* If MOPAR Power Steering Fluid +4 is not available, then MOPAR ATF +4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is acceptable.


To address what the parts guy told you, this is from the 2008 factory service manual:

Mopar® Power Steering Fluid + 4 or Mopar® ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is to be used in the power steering system. Both Fluids have the same material standard specifications (MS-9602).

 

My 2010 PS fluid factory fill was red just like ATF+4 auto trans fluid.

 

Thanks, ATF it is......
