What is the difference between DEXRON II and III?
From what I can see Dexron III is only marginally more expensive than II, by the way. III has supposedly better restsistance to degradation, oxidation, and thermal stability, and it holds its viscosity better at higher temperatures.
Can you mix DEXRON II and DEXRON III?
Yes, you can mix them together, as long as you peel one of the “I”s off of the Dextron III bottle before pouring it in…on second thought…you probably don’t even need to do that. They can be safely mixed.
Can I use Dexron IV instead of II?
ATF IV and Dexron II are different enough I’d suggest against using it, however all Dexron fluids are backwards compatible, so you could use Dexron III or Dexron VI. If you can get Dexron III you can mix it with the exiting Dexron II in your power steering reservoir without issue.

That means Dexron-VI is safe for use in all GM transmissions back to the beginning. The same is true for Chrysler transmissions calling for ATF+4 (unless Dexron was specified). Ford’s Mercon V is also safe for early transmissions. The only exception is the 1977 to ’81 Ford transmissions that require Type-F fluid.
Which is better Dexron II or Dexron III?
Here’s the question: Dexron II is impossible to find, III is rare. What else is acceptable? Is Toyota Type-IV ATF fluid also acceptable? It’s what I use in the automatic transmission. Is Dexron VI good too? I don’t want to mess up and use the wrong fluid. Use Dexron III, it is the most common ATF on the market and can be purchased everywhere.
Do you have to use Dexron for Mercon?
Many bottles will say Dexron/Mercon compatible on them, that’s the one. Doing what you propose certainly won’t hurt anything, but it seems excessive to do it every oil change, even if it’s only 1/5 of the total system volume. Generally, keeping the power steering system topped up is entirely adequate.

What is the successor to Dexron II ATF?
Dexron III is the latest but, if you use that in a Honda automatic, you need to add a bottle of LubeGard black bottle… Honda auto’s need a really high slip agent in their ATF or the automatic transmission will shift harsh.
