I'm all for OEM for sensors and plugs. I try to exceed OEM if I can for mechanical. Fluids seems to be a frickin' black magic to me. I'll stick with Mopar coolant for now, but I don't want to waste money on things that are perfectly fine as a substitute - ATF fluid being one of them. I came across this info a while ago, and thought I'd share and update my links. ATF+4 transmission/transfer case fluid is a licensed Chrysler product, so there are many brands to choose from that are just as good as Mama Mopar.
