Nug Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Anyone have a brand of Dextron ATF that they have had luck with in a 3AT? Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 No, I'm putting another transmission in my dad's car, and I'm just wondering if there is a brand that most people recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I've never really experimented with different fluids, but I've never had trouble running plain old Chevron or Citgo ATF in any of my rigs. I figure if I run the cheap stuff, I can afford to change it more often, which is probably better than putting expensive fluid in there and leaving it for a long time. (Of course, when it comes to engine oil, I run the expensive stuff and change it very regularly, but that's another issue:cool: ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have used Amsoil ATF for 19 years. Shifts better cold. Zero problems. 100-185K miles on each of 3 4WD 3AT wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Let's say money is no object. Amsoil is winning right now. How many quarts does a 3AT hold, assuming the torque converter is empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 How many quarts does a 3AT hold, assuming the torque converter is empty? FSM says a little under 8 quarts. Additionsal details on my 3 cars - 100K mile changes. I don't drive them easy. Sooner or later the vacuume modulator will fail (not related to oil), sucking ATF into the intake. Have a couple extra quarts on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'm going to try a different avenue. Something that isn't on the shelf yet, but has existed for a couple of years. It has extremely good durability and is very, very resistant to shudder. Dextron VI (thats 6. Dextron 6. Sweet.) I can't tell you were I'm getting it or who designed it, though. :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
