    ATF type

    Good morning everyone. I'm filling up the automatic transmission fluid. originally the gearbox was fitted with the ATF 2D type. Do you think it is possible to pour the ATF 3 type? or buy the 2D ATF? Thank you

    By 2D I am guessing you mean Dexron II which is what the auto 'box was filled with when new. Dexron III replaced II and is meant to be safe to use in its place. I have been using III for years without trouble.

    When I changed my fluid and filter in 2022, I used ACDelco Dexron VI (2.75 Liters) in order to fill the transmission to where it should be.

    Thank you for your answers. From what you tell me, our automatic transmission is compatible with both older models (d3) and more modern ones. (d6). thank you all

    I would stick to something produced or licensed by GM for Dextron and has the GM license # on it.
