Question A new ATF fluid?

Hi All,
While at Pep Boys, I saw a Castrol Multivehicle ATF that calimed to be for Dex3 Mercon and Chylsler "type 3 and 4". About $4.00/qt. Next to it was a Castrol Dex3 and Mercon that didn't have any mention of Chrlsler trannys.
Then at Walmart, saw the Walmart brand ATF with same wording, for "transmissions previously servicable with Dex3 or MerconV and Chysler type 3 and 4" It did not say +3 or +4... about$3 qt.
I am thinking these grades will have higher temperature characteristics, as the +3 and +4 Chysler fluids were developed for temperature related trans. failures...
Comment anyone?
