  1. Yes, in fact had I read a bit more in the small print on the webpage it says specially formulated for the NV4500. Thanks for the responses.

  3. So I've been having difficulty finding the proper oil and I think I have the correct stuff but I want some input before I drain the old oil. So it started at NAPA I asked for the transmission oil for my NV4500 in my 1999 ram 2500. The oil I was given was part number 04874464ab. I immediately found this fishy as on the front of the bottle is says for the NV3500 and NSG-370. I got NAPA to call back the dealer that they got it from and they insisted that this is the correct oil. I did some research online and could find nothing to this being a replacement for the syntorque oil that is discontinued. After this I caĺled Castrol directly and told this what I had and what oil I needed. The answer I received from Castrol was that any 75w85 gl-4 oil will meet the specifications for my application although they weren't able to give me part numbers and suggested I call a dealer. So the next step I took was call mopar directly to get an answer of what this NSG-370/NV3500 oil's specifications are, they were not able to answer my question. Then I called a Chrysler dealer and gave the part number of the oil I given, after about 10 minutes I was told that 04874464ab will not be what I need and the correct part number is 04874459. This new number is a 75w85 gl-4 oil so it seems to have the correct specifications to that of the syntorque. Sorry for the long story but it was a circus over here trying to get to the bottom of this. At the end of the day I want some reassurance that part number 04874459 is what I need. Thanks you.
