Default Auto-Tranny--SYNTHETICs?

Does anyone use a synthetic oil in their auto-tranny? Mobil,purple,amsoil?? The Mobil 1 synthetic ATF seems to be the best price but it says on the bottle approved for chrysler but jeeps use the ATF+4, any suggestions. Thanks

The ATF+4 trans fluid in the Jk is full synthetic already. It was formulated
specifically for Mopar transmissions to run cooler and last longer.

I have done a lot of research on this because I like to use synthetics in every
vehicle I have owned.

I have heard of a few people that tried other brands in the JKs, even Amsoil,
and have had bad results.
