Just checked my ATF dipstick while the engine is warm and it is a bit on the low side; although the color is "perfectly pink". This is the 4-speed unit; what is the proper fluid? The owners manual says to only use "MB fluid". Also, what is the capacity between the "hi" and "lo" marks on the dipstick? Thanks.

ohlord, just to clarify, the correct fluid is ATF-3?

The Pennzoil site lists the following:
Pennzoil® ATF+3 ATF

Pennzoil® ATF+3 is an automatic transmission fluid designed specifically for automatic transmissions and transaxles used in Chrysler vehicles. It is fully compatible with Pennzoil® 7176 ATF. It is manufactured with specially selected friction modifiers, highly refined base oils and a shear stable viscosity index improver. ATF+3 ATF has excellent oxidation and thermal stability for long mileage component protection.

fluids that is compatible with dex3.The 722.4 trans is very robust and less sensitive to trans issues compared to the 722.6 trans.
