There should be a sticker on there showing either 44-44 or a 44-45. Do you have the 4WD Auto range on the selector switch?

So you have the BorgWarner BW 44-44 which is supposed to use expensive Mopar fluid. I have a 2015 also with the BorgWarner BW 44-44 and used Valvoline Multi-Vehicle Transfer Case Fluid (TCF) and haven't had any issues. https://www.valvolineglobal.com/en/multi-vehicle-transfer-case-fluid/

Here's a post that discusses it in pretty great detail. You can do your own research and decide what to use. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/bw-44-44-transfer-case-fluid.221111/
Maybe someone can help me. I have a 2017 model year (manufactured in 2016) with a bw 44-44 and I was under the impression something with the fluid changed in 2016?
The dealer sold me pre-2016 labeled fluid with the part #68089195AA and was adamant that it is the correct one they use in all the vehicles.
Someone in here posted a photo of a 2016+ bottle with the part # 68049954AC.
Did the dealer screw me over on this? Pics of the two bottles for reference.
