What kind of power steering fluid does a Dodge Durango use?
The way I read this only 1998-1999 Durangos should always use MS5931 and that a 2000 Durango was factory filled with MS5931 but MS9602 should be used as a refill/service. okay, my last post on this? Think about it for a second logically.
What kind of power steering fluid does Chrysler use?
The factory fill power steering fluid for most 2004 model year Chrysler Group vehicles is ATF+4 (MS9602) and it provides superior performance at both low and high temperatures. WJ/WG and ZH vehicles use unique power steering fluids.
Can you use ATF + 4 in a 2000 Dodge Durango?
Uhhhh? 2000 Ds aren’t supposed to use ATF+4 in the PS unit. 2001+ is okay. Also, the PS unit doesn’t recirculate the fluid. The heat you experienced is from heat transfer from the motor and heat generated from compression. Keep an eye on your PS unit. **IF** your ’00 was a late bloomer and built closer to the 2001 model year? you may escape harm.
How often should I refill my power steering fluid?
Repeat the pumping and refilling at least 4 times. This used up 2 of my 3 quarts. As an alternative you can pump and refill over several days instead of doing it all at once. In the end you should have fresh fluid in your power steering. After only 4 times mine looks new.

The last TSB I see (19-007-01) says it came from the factory with MS5931 and you can change to ATF+4 (MS9602) IF you drain the system first.
What kind of power steering fluid should I use?
“All models should be serviced using the specified MS5931 fluid. ATF+4 is not an approved Power Steering Fluid and should never be used under any circumstances. Note that all fluids will darken in color with usage and fluid color is no longer an indication of fluid condition.”
