Novakaine Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Okay, so here is the situation. My car manual says to use dextron 2 ATF, fine. But I can't find dextron 2 anywhere, and the guy at napa auto parts says that dextron 3 is the new better replacement for dextron 2. Is that true? also what kind of ATF would you guys recommend, castrol, redline? Synthetic? Synthetic blend? I am really confused...help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deiscient Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 When I replenished my PS pump recently I used Citgo Dexron III. The back label clearly states that it is acceptable wherever Dexron IIE or Dexron II is required. FWIW, in the ATF section of Autozone here I could not find any of those other Dexron types either although there was an ample supply of Ford and Chrysler specced fluids in addition to the Dex. (that is a GM standard, I think). I suspect this question is an academic consideration only with no practical impact, much like the discussion of the various API motor oil classes yesterday.
