I am told I will lose some auto box fluid when changing the radiator, can anyone tell me what type I should buy? I can't see this info in the manual.
Thanks
Tony

It should be Dexron 3, but I use Dexron 2 as its cheaper and I am told it is the same.

If you read my write up on changing the radiator you will note that the loss of ATF is NOT massive easily controlled.
It was less than 1 litre from memory. HTH

Tony.
Your job will be slightly different from Snoopy's as yours is a 16v engine,but the general procedure is the same.

Rad comes out from underneath - don't think it will come out from the top as the lower brackets make it too wide.
Removing the front bumper might make the job easier ?

TONY as far as I am aware the Radiator on ALL the models will NOT come out through the TOP . It HAS to be removed from underneath. Taking the bumper off might help but I did not need to. ( Yet another mistake in the TIS . Many discrepancies have been found over the years)
