EXACTLY which tranny fluid goes into
our auto transmissions?
My owner's manual says Dex-3; however Haynes manual says Dex-2 My shop has used Dex-2 on my tranny over the course of 2-3 fluid change outs; have over 60k on their fluid, i.e. Dex 2 with no problems in shifting, slipping, etc. So my question is, since I have a very mild leak, WHAT do I put into this tranny? Dex 2 or Dex 3, and are the two compatible with eachother?? FWIW - even if the Dex 2 is the wrong fluid, tranny's shifting wonderfully! Oh, and I know it's been repeating 10000k times, but can one give me exact/precise instructions on - 1. Checking fluid level, on these no dipstick thingies? 2. Partial drain/refills through add/check fill plugs? And, should one just barely let the truck idle for 3-5 minutes before procedure's, or can they be performed after doing basic city driving as well?

Re: EXACTLY which tranny fluid goes into
Dexron III is completely compatible with transmission applications specifying Dexron II. Some other applications that specified D-II (like some power steering systems) may have a little trouble with the D-III, but transmissions should be fine with it. Version IV may be incompatible, so don't go there.

Re: EXACTLY which tranny fluid goes into
DexII probably wouldn't harm your 4L30E, but that is an out dated ATF. Use Dexron III or any Mercon/Dexron III universal ATF will be fine & is your most common off the shelf ATF.
