27 What kind of transmission fluid should I use? Is Dexron OK?

Use ONLY what it says in your owner's manual to use. Many Chrysler
transmissions are NOT compatible with standard fluid! ATF+4
is usually the best one to use with automatic transmissions before
2001, ATF+5 after.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT and very misunderstood issue.

You should really visit http://www.allpar.com/fix/trans.html if you have
a four-speed or five-speed Chrysler automatic. Even most three-speed
automatics are required to use ATF+4.
