It's in the owners manual. ALL the Calibers with automatics from the beginning of production in March 2006 have had CVTs and requireCVT transmission fluid.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid (CVTF+4). CVTF+4 is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
I hope this is helpful to you!
