I am getting ready to have the transmission, transfer case and differential fluids replaced in my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 Limited 4x4 with Selec-Trac. I have two options I am considering:
1) The dealer quote is for MOPAR ATF+4 in the transmission/transfer case and 75W90 OEM MOPAR synthetic fluid in the differentials.
2) An independent that specializes in Jeep and is using Valvoline products to include Valvoline ATF+4 in the transmission/transfer case and Valvoline 75W85 synthetic fluid in the differentials; they also put BG LSII synthetic conditioner (BG328) in the differentials.
I am hoping to get everyone's opinions/advice on Valvoline 75W90 with BG conditioner vs MOPAR OEM 75W85 fluid.
-Would you be concerned about using Valvoline vs OEM fluids?
-Any concern (warranty) about 75W90 vs 75W85?
-Any concerns about adding the BG LSII synthetic conditioner?
-Is the MOPAR fluid that much better? The price is about 33% more if I go with the dealer versus the independent. I am okay with spending more if "you get what you pay for"
-I know that additives aren't thought well of, but I would like to get everyone's thoughts.
-Also, I plan to keep this vehicle a long time.
Thanks everyone.
