Mopar Fluids in the UK, Changes!

[fatboy18]

Seems now after contacting my local Chrysler Jeep Dealer that Genuine Mopar fluids are no longer available!

turns out all fluids now come from Petrolis and they have a conversion chart from Chrysler!

Example Red Antifreeze mopar part number 05103532EB (Red) is available but is now called Aros Farm Fluid and comes in gallon containers.

Same with Diff oils and additives, chrysler UK now just cross reference numbers and supply Petrolis fluids.

So you no longer get a Bottle with a blue white official Mopar logo on it!.


Switching my fluids now to AMSOIL.

Just ordered Amsoil fluids for the trans and rear diff

75-140 for the rear diff
http://www.performanceoilsltd.co.uk/amsoil_gear_75...
No modifier required.
75-90 GL4 for the transmission
http://www.performanceoilsltd.co.uk/amsoil_transmi...


and Arrow Recommend 15w50 Mobil 1, fully synthetic for the 91 Viper, so got that too


What about Antifreeze? Trip to Halfrads Red or Green?

I've put those diff oils in my truck - very highly rated. You can buy Mopar ATF on eBay, £60 a tub. Also for the truck coolant I found Comma made the most appropriate replacement, you can view their range on their website.

Cheers Ginja, I will take a look

I've just ordered some of the diff oil additive from the local Jeep dealer. I gave the Mopar part number so I'll see what turns up in a few weeks. They said when they order fluids they have to wait until they have enough for a full consignment.

I'm in no rush, just gathering everything for a winter service.

If they are talking about a "consignment" That sounds like they may be importing from USA. I think the USA Still has the Mopar fluids its just Chrysler Europe that is now different.
Chrysler Europe can not search Vin numbers either on Dodge Cars, it seems now they can only cross ref part numbers.

As for the oil spec, what were Arrow recommending 15w50 in regards of usage, were they expecting that they built a race engine so it would be used for racing and as such specified 15w50 which is often recommended for heavy track and race use where higher engine temps fewer cold starts and careful warm up are the norm. rather than tootling down the shops with fire her up and go and barely getting the oil warm and therefore knackering the engine again. I'd be inclined to check with arrow if that recommendation holds for street use if that is where the car will be used.

Exactly

For the record:
Ordered Amsoil from this company
www.performanceoilsltd.co.uk only to get no shipping date and then after contacting paypal got my monies back! (they are still trading but are a small importer), communication was not good!
So if you do use them check its in stock first before paying monies

I have now ordered Antifreeze from a German Company called www.ato24.de, As you expect with Germany, very efficient and great service using DHL and Parcelforce.

Got the Antifreeze today, bought this http://www.ato24.de/motorcraft-antifreeze-premium-... its the bright green stuff (exactly the same as the 3yr Original American Mopar fluid)
This is an American imported brand (not Ford Europe).

and have also ordered the Amsoil from them (which is in stock in Germany)
