[DML] Re:Re: Questions on automatic transmission FLUID?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There used to be 2 worlds of transmissions, Ford and everyone else.
Ford ONLY used Mercon fluid. After around '88 when Dexron III came out
it was called Dexron-Mercon fluid. It was good for everything AND
Fords. Now it is called genericaly ATF or Automatic Transmission
Fluid. You cannot get Dexron II any more but Dexron III-Mercon ATF is
superior to it. You can mix it with old Dexron II if it is still in
the transmission too so there is no need to worry about using today's
ATF. I remind everyone again, on the automatic transmission the final
drive is a separate compartment and you MUST check it separately with
the level plug on the side. It takes 85-90W gear oil, not ATF! Red
Line Products has what they call a superior ATF but I have no
experience with it. They do make other excellant products so it may be
better but I cannot say.
