Hi I will have to top up my auto transmission fluid, the handbook states using Dexron 2. I am having trouble finding this. Will another make do and will it mix with whats already in there?

Hi Mate, You should not loose 2 much if you are careful when swapping the rad. last time i topped an auto up it was a Honda Integra. I remember buying any ATF fluid on the advise of a hydraulic hose repair fellow. He told me to forget the manual and what it says to use and that it would mix with no problem. This it did and it worked properly for the rest of my ownership.
Someone may diss this but it worked for me.

Dextron III has superseded Dextron II. A bit like Evian has superseded Perrier!Comment

You can still get Dextron 11. Comma still make it, that's what I used. You would be better off draining the system and put fresh oil in, then you know it's all new and all the same. Remember to take it out for a run after and check the level while the engine is RUNNING.

Hey sorry guys now I understand it was obviously me being really thick, I thought DEXRON was a make of ATF when it is actually a specification so it can be made by any ATF producer as long as it meets that spec. DOHOriginally posted by M35A2Trust your Hound.Comment
