Transfer case fluid type

[Tristan]

I have a 99 jeep Cherokee sport with a 242 selec-trac transfer case and i have found mix results on what type of fluid to put in it. My owners manual states “mopar automatic transmission fluid or equivalent labeled Dexron III or Mercon. I am wondering if i put atf+4 in it if it would damage the t-case at all. most places i have looked people say just use atf+4 and i wanted to just make sure by asking around here first

mopar automatic transmission fluid = ATF+4
GM automatic transmission fluid = Dexron III
Ford automatic transmission fluid = Mercon

Personally, I’d use ATF+4 as that’s what the manual calls for.
