    Transmission Fluid - Type

    Basic question I know, but I can't recall what ATF is recommended for the autobox.

    The manual says Dextron II, and I have a quart of both Dextron III and IV in my garage.

    I'm pretty sure it is III (and the IV is for another vehicle)
    Dermot
    VIN 2743, B/A, Frame 2227, engine 2320

    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Anything that says Dexron on it will work. D I, II, III, etc. Dexron, Mercon is also OK. Just as long as it says ATF (auto tranny fluid). Don't forget the final drive on the automatic has a separate chamber and takes 85W-90 hypoid gear oil.

    Thanks guys.

    (On reflection, the Dextron-IV was for my steering pump on my old van.)

    I have a quart of the gear oil also David, but I knew where that went
