I previously searched on what color the transfer case fluid is for my 44-45 TC in my Rebel. I saw various posts about a "blue" fluid from Borg Warner was used, so of course I was nervous about just using ATF 4+ (which the 44-45 can use), since ATF fluids are red, and I don't want warranty arguments about having a red fluid in the TC.
So I bought part # 68089195AA from Mopar (per owners manual, this is the fluid for my 2016 Rebel).......AND ITS RED! The bottles I bought say they are for the 44-45, 44-46, 44-47, 44-48 and pre 2016 44-44.
Anyway, I'm kinda pissed, since I could have used ATF 4+ from Valvoline (or Valvoline's TC fluid). Both are RED and 100% ok to use, and WAYYYY cheaper. But hopefully this will help someone else in their fluid hunt. After I'm done with this factory stuff (I can't return it), I'll be using Valvoline products....I run them in my other 4x4 vehicles (FJ Cruiser, and 98 Jeep).
