i think due to its V8 engine yours has a TF904 the Borgwarner 35 was used in 6 cylinder cars

in which case you need the same as most other chaps on here

Chrysler suggest ATF+4

don't have auto trans so this is based on a quick search

if its a manual 3 or 4 speed box then SAE30 engine or SAE 30 mixed use anti foaming suitable for in sump gearbox do not put 90 weight gear oil in.... you can put ATF in if you want
do not put anything in it with additives for rear axle gears i.e high pressure additives the additives eat brass synchro rings

Hi Chaps......

Having looked at umpteen different brands/ prices.......Comma ATF Aqf appears to be at a very good price......an awful lot less than products such as @Castrol F Type etc....

Many oils don't state whether they are mineral or not?

Any thoughts/ reccomended brands would be appreciated.

Thanks
