Nov 15, 2002 · ATF+4 is backwards compatable with ATF+3. THe Cf is the same for the two fluids. ATF+4 has better cold and hot temp. performance and is more restant to oxidation. You can use ATF+3 anyplace ATF+4 is called for. I really do not see why you would want to do this though! ATF+4 is a really good fluid!!! What I like to do is order C+ATF from Redline.

Jul 31, 2010 · I am stocking up for spring service on my JKU, have Amsoil 75w90, 75w140, ATF+4 for powersteering & T case, but wondering if using Amsoil ATF in my trans (W5A-580 Auto) is worth the risk since it is a universal ATF? Or just buy synthetic ATF+4?

Dec 22, 2021 · Ravenol seems a lot like the idea behind Idemitsu, but I can't find published specs/data on it, so that's a red flag. MaxLife ATF looks like a competitor to Amsoil and it is actually certified for use in Toyota Aisin transmissions, but it just doesn't get the same level of rave reviews and people claiming it fixed existing issues.

Feb 5, 2016 · The ATF-Acetone mix was a “home brew” mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the “home brew” was better than any commercial product in this one particular test. Our local machinist group mixed up a batch and …

May 25, 2005 · The best ATF to use where ATF+4 is called for is Redline C+ even though it is not licensed and doesn't appear on the approved list from CQA. Chrysler's ATF+4 licensing program is very strict and borderline childish, requiring only a specific group III base oil and a specific Lubrizol add pack, very heavy micromanagement.

Aug 2, 2018 · Whole lot of Honda ATF Discssion there, and I will offer my opinion here (Its also over there). Back during the early 2000's Honda was moving more upmarket with their cars. They needed 'smoother' shifting transmissions in order for people to accept them as more luxury.

Jul 31, 2003 · There have been many OEMs which recently have changed from a heavier viscosity ATF to a lower viscosity. Several reasons have been given, but one is for fuel economy. DEXRON-III was a high viscosity fluid and DEXRON-VI is a low viscosity fluid. MERCON-V was a high viscosity and MERCON-LV is a low viscosity fluid.

Dec 17, 2012 · It does, it is for current 7-speed and previous 5-speed AT. I have Shell ATF-134 in my 2000 E430. ATF-134 is not the same as ATF-134 FE. Shell actually makes two fluids for that reason, 134 (meets MB spec 236.14) and 134 FE (meets MB spec 236.15). The 134 FE fluid is for the newer 722.9 transmissions produced after June 2010.

Mar 8, 2017 · All the old Chrysler AT's used something called ATF, pretty much like what was used in the GM's of the period. ATF morphed into Dextron, then Dextron II. I have a Dodge car in storage that has "use dextron II " imprinted on the dipstick. When they started putting lockup TC's in transmissions they had to come up with a different fluid.

Jan 28, 2005 · Then, he says to let the engine idle until it has reached its normal operating temperature. Then, you drain the oil, with the ATF in it, and replace the oil and filter with new. He said the ATF won't hurt the engine (especially the bearings, like some motor flush products can) and the "detergent power" does a good job of cleaning.
