That depends on the year, I believe. The FSM for the 03s says:
"The recommended fluid for the power steering system is MOPAR power steering fluid or equivalent. Do not use automatic transmission fluid and do not overfill."

i am also low...

while looking aroudn the engine bay, i saw a line (about as thick as a finger) that has a bunch of fluids on it... could this be my PSF (power steering fluid) leak, or does the PSF just sometimes get low?

THANKS!

PSF gets low when cold. There should be four lines on the can. Two for minimum (cold/hot) and two for maximum (cold/hot). Fill after the appropriate mark.

I'm glad that the 03s shouldn't use ATF+4 as I've poured some standard MOPAR stuff in mine. Didn't screw anything up and so far has not leaked. It's been three months since I put in the PSF.

I use Prestone Power Steering fluid. I change mine twice year, and use a cheapo turkey baster to empty the resivoir & fill with new.

Your suppose to switch over to atf +4 on the older kjs like the newer kjs when you change your fluid. I know the manual says not to but I guess Chrysler changed thier minds. Changed mine to atf when I changed the pump. no problems.

I picked up a quart at the dealer of ATF+4, it says transmission on the bottle, and I was told it is the same thing. $10 a quart.
I saw that Walmart also has them for half the price a few days after I got it. I haven't had time to replace mine, as I don't want to just top it off, you are not supposed to mix them if they are different color (different part numbers)
