Notes

* CJ Auto Transmission originally required Dexron II fluid. ATF+4 supercedes all Dexron, and previous ATF+2, ATF+3 formulas with improved cold viscosity, anti-shudder properties, and longer friction coefficient wear ** DOT 4 Brake fluid may be used if DOT 3 cannot be found. DOT 4 brake fluid has shorter service life **** Never use Ethanol based fuels in CJ fuel system, IE: E-85, E-90. CJ fuel system components cannot support ethanol based fuels
