ATF+4 or 8&9 Speed ATF transmission fluid?
 
I have a 2015 300 V6 automatic transmission. Which transmission fluid is correct for this transmission? Thank You.

Thank you for responding. After much research it seems that Valvoline MaxLife and ATF+4 are the most talked about on the various chat lines to use for Chrysler 300 transmission fluid.
Can you explane the differences between the two.

Thank you.

I believe the 8-speed transmission was the only trans available on the 2015 300. Use 'auto-shift' to confirm. While driving at highway speeds, put the shifter into auto-shift. The PRDNL display should show a boxed number. Bump the shifter to the '+' and the number should increment. Keep bumping until the number no longer increases. If you see 7 or 8, you have the 8-speed.

As for fluid, do not use universal fluids. Use the manufacturer specified atf only, licensed ZF only. Note it is expensive.
