42149, Dexron III/Mercon ATF
Posted by eklipz, Jan-19-03 07:51 PM
Quick question for you guys...is Valvoline Dexron/Mercon ATF fluid still compatible with our chrysler tranny besides Valvoline ATF+3 ? reason im asking is because i changed my tranny fluid about a year ago and found out they used dexron/mercon instead of ATF+3. And my tranny doesnt shift properly out and into first gear. The mechanic says its the same thing/brand but, ATF+3 is a synthetic. Is this guy full of B.S.? any help is appreciated. TIA

the proper fluid is mopar manual transaxle fluid its like 15$ a bottle atf+3 is not the proper fluid
the dealer now uses atf+4 but it is only used for cost not for being better then the mopar transaxle fluid...

The popular opinion is to stay with the dealer atf fluid ONLY!
I do know that several of us are tempting the fates with TrickShift synthetic (some people have to learn the hard way), but I don't suggest this unless you are willing to replace the transmission if everyone is right.
