Title: ATF fluid
Post by Richard on Sep 11^th, 2004, 9:32am

Not so much a problem just a question really, What ATF fluid do i use on my 97 2.3 ?, is it Dexron II ?. I will be getting it from my local factors so i don't want them giving me the wrong thing.

Most places stock Dexron 3/4 these days Most Motor Factors do just check the spec on the back of the bottle to see if it meets Ford Spec...

Cheers Snoopy,
I checked the spec on the bottle and it meets Ford,Borg Warner,Vauxhall etc specs but it was only Dexron 2. I asked the guy there and he said that is all he has but it meets the specs, what should i do ?, I am only using as a top up when i change the rad, not a full change.

Use dexron 2 if its for top up probably the same as the original anyway....

Sorry about the late reply Sites been down for a while now and I had given up all hope...
