What is the replacement for dexron II?

Dexron VI
Dexron VI replaced Dexron II and III, and can be used in General Motors domestically built or import transmissions that specified Dexron II or Dexron III. Dexron VI is a low viscosity transmission fluid and should also be used with the full synthetic low viscosity transmission fluid.

Can dexron 2 and 3 be mixed?

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.

Is dexron II the same as dexron III?

Dexron-III(F) has the same low-temperature fluidity as Dexron-II(E), for better transmission performance in cold weather. This fluid is backward compatible with all previous Dexron fluids as well as the Type “A” Suffix “A”, and the Type “A” fluids produced from 1949 to 1966.

What is dexron II E?

RAVENOL ATF Dexron II E is high performance, fully synthetic ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for use in vehicles with torque converter and power shift transmissions that require specifications: GM Dexron II E, Ford Mercon, and Allison C-4.

Is Dexron 2 still available?

Dexron, Dexron II, IID, and Dexron IIE—these are the original GM Dexron ATFs and are no longer licensed by the company, having been superseded by Dexron III, which has now itself been superseded by Dexron VI.

What color is dexron II?

It is recommended for automatic gearboxes of passenger cars and commercial vehicles requiring the oil of ATF Type Dexron-IID quality, it is mixed with brands of similar quality. Colour: yellow-brown.

What is the difference between Dexron III and Mercon V?

Dexron III and Mercon a basically the same spec. Mercon V, however, is slightly thicker and has a different friction additive. The owners manual and the trans dipstick tell the proper choice.

Is Mercon/Dextron III same as Dextron III?

The specs for MERCON and DEXRON III were so similar that any fluid that met one spec also met the other. So yes, MERCON and MERCON/DEXRON III are the same thing.

What is the best transmission fluid?

The best transmission fluid is the Mobil 1 112980 Synthetic ATF, which promotes excellent lubrication, smooth shifting, cooler operating temperatures and long life. Some of the first automatic transmissions used motor oil as the lubricant but that is not suitable for todays complex transmissions.

Can I use Dexron III in my PowerSteering?

Recommended by ExxonMobil for use in any power steering unit where a DEXRON® or MERCON® fluid is recommended. So it’s fine to put DEXRON VI or DEXRON III in most cars. The thing to be careful of is mixing formulations. Some Chrysler transmissions in particular call for Chrysler-specific fluid, which must be used.

What is the replacement for Dexron II?

Is Dexron III the same as Dexron II?

Can I mix DEX 2 and Dex 3?

What is Dexron 2 transmission fluid?

The General Motors Dexron-II automatic transmission fluid specification, issued in August 1973, defines physical, chemical, and performance requirements of a new class of fluids developed to meet increasingly severe service in passenger car and commercial automatic transmissions.

Can I use Dexron VI instead of II?

Valvoline DEXRON™-VI ATF can be used in new and old GM transmissions, is fully backward serviceable, and can be used wherever DEXRON™-II and/or DEXRON™-III are recommended.

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.

Can I use dexron III instead of dexron VI?

DEXRON-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, in place of DEXRON-III (for instance, topping off the fluid in the event of a repair or fluid change). DEXRON-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON for use in automatic transmissions.

Can I use dexron 4 instead 2?

What is dexron 2 used for?

RAVENOL ATF Dexron II E is developed for use in automatic transmission and torque converter transmission and power shift transmission with required specification. RAVENOL ATF Dexron II E is recommended if ATF Type Dexron II E is to be used according to manufacturer’s specification.

Should I use dexron III or VI?

The GM site says to STAY AWAY FROM DEX III, and only use DEXRON VI. Dexron VI is a lot more stable at higher temperatures and lasts longer. It can also be used to top off dexron 3, however, you can’t use dexron 3 if you already have dexron 6 originally in your trans, or if it has been flushed with dexron 6.

Which is more expensive Dexron 2 or Dexron 3?

I notice most of the fluid on the motorfactors shelves is now Dexron III, which from doing some research is an “enhanced specification” fluid compared to Dexron II. From what I can see Dexron III is only marginally more expensive than II, by the way.

What can I use in place of Dexron IIe?

Apparently Dexron IIE is no longer available so I called my Isuzu dealer and asked them what to use. They told me to just go to O’Reilly and buy PS fluid. I pointed out there are a lot of differences between PS & ATF fluid.

Is there a replacement for Dexron 2 fluid?

It is backwards compatible… I.E. It can work with any system that calls for Dextron, Dextron II or Dextron III. You are the man ToyotaKarl. Since they don’t make Dexron II anymore Dexron VI is the synthetic replacement.

What’s the successor to the Honda Dexron 2?

Honda transmissions are somewhat finicky when it comes to fluids. Well . . . Dexron 2 was eventually superseded by Dexron 3 Genuine Dexron 3 is nla, because GM let the patent expire.
