You can also get cheap Dex/Merc and run a bottle of Lubegaurd.

stick with a name brand atf+4 walmart carries the mopar brand around here. For the diffs I would put synthetic in them and gain the protection and mpg benefits of it. I am partial to the amsoil myself but mobil 1 makes a good product also

I use Amsoil but Valvoline ATF or any +4 will work. For the diffs use 75-90 or 80-89 synthetic. I use 75-110 in the front and rear.
