CAUTION:

There is an Electro Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) pump on Non-SRT vehicles which requires a different power steering fluid. Do not mix power steering fluid types. Damage may result to the power steering pump and system if any other fluid is used. The EHPS system uses fluid which meets material specification MS-11655 or equivalent. The mechanical power steering pump systems on SRT vehicles require the use of Power Steering Fluid +4, which meets material specification MS-9602 or equivalent. Do not overfill.
CAUTION:

Nominal refill capacities are shown. A variation may be observed from vehicle to vehicle due to manufacturing tolerance and refill procedure.
