My owners manual and shop manual says to use ATF DEXTRON II or equivalent, 10.4 qts.

Someone needs to show me/us where it says to use only Mitsubishi ATF.

I've heard all the stories over the years, but show me the facts.

Here's something to chew on.
Dexron Mercon III supercedes all previous Dexron II specifications. You can safely use it. You can also use Dexron IV, which is even better and compatible with Dexron III and II specifications.

Did you know that the original Dexron had a high percentage of whale oil, Dexron II was formulated without it. Original Dexron is arguably the best tranny fluid ever created, but due to its ingredients cannot be made anymore.

OK I've got my flame suit on so fire away. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
