I don't know if it's 100% syn. , but the wording on the container intimates it is. At least it must be a blend.



ASFAIK you can't get it anywhere but the dealer. Proprietory formula. Should pay ~$17. 50 a gallon if you talk nice to the parts guy.



Mopar ATF+4 is recommended and warranty friendly, if that's what you're asking. Not sure about any other brand, but a lot of people use Amsoil and other synthetics, and I've never heard of anyone being denied warranty for not using ATF+4.

Maxlife is ATF +4 compliant. Other than that I'm not sure what else is available. Make sure you use the correct fluid.

Amsoil ATF is "Recommended for applications requiring the following specifications: ... Chrysler ATF+ through ATF+4... "
