atf?
the dip stick says the mopar fluid or dexon II where is the atf+4 comein from? would the atf+4 mix with the dex fluid? bc i put the dex fluid in the tranni last and i just put my tc in and put the atf4 in the tc and i would need to fill up the pan at least half. so could i use the dex or the atf4 or i have to use all the same fluid? might be dumb question but i heard could mix as long as ones not a synthetic
|
i highly recommend gettin it flushed with atf 4 but if the dipstick says dex works then u can use that but dont mix them..
|
where does the atf4 come from where it say that?
|
X2 on mixing, mixing ATF thats a no no. Because each one has different friction addatives in it. ATF 4 is a better fluid, I would drain it and use just one or the other. Better to be safe than sorry.
|
ya i put like 4 quarts in the tc of atf4 and have not started it so i can drop the pan and empty it and change the filter
|
ive been running valvoline max-life for 40k miles with 20k mile service intervals. Its listed to be a full synthetic thats compatible with dex/merc fluids. Its still as tight or tighter than any automatic ive driven.
|
good info!!!! was going to change fluid and filter on moday and i got atf4 the tranny has only 20'000 on a complete rebuild. so going to call tranny shop and see what they put in it. glad i read this:c:
|
Still would drop it and only run one type of fluid, My good freind is an automatic guru he was a builder at Certified Transmission, you wouldn't catch him dead mixing ATF in his truck.
|
why is atf better and used if it dont ask for it?
|
it has better friction modifiers in it. I know all the newer dodge automatics (03 and newer) come with ATF+4, and thats what is recommended for them. it wont ask for it on a truck built in 94 because ATF+4 didnt exsist yet.
