I think I bought the wrong fluid...

Take it back...get the Dex. Unless you drive hard,or an awful lot, your trans juice is still fine. You've time. The three are a Merc, a Dex, and a universal....I'd like to know the diff. What really hapens if you switch 'em?

Well, that's what I am saying, they don't have the Mobile-1 DEX, jus the "universal" kind. This is at 2 different stores...

Reno can't be that small, call around. No NAPA?

Apparently, our tranny fluid has to have a G license number.

Seems the newer fluids seem to cover what came before. Dex V is ok for Dex 3 and so on. At least that is what I've been led to beleive. Like I said, it's all voodoo to me....Other than swapping them out, I don't do autoboxes. The letters are important, but the Mobil1 (and I assume R.P.) seem to cover them all...I'm too lazy to walk out to the garage to read the label.

I don't know that I've ever seen a "G licence" on any tranny juice I've ever used, it's not on the Amsoil that I've been using. Has anyone seen it on Royal Purple or Mobile 1?
Amsoil is a universal ATF like Mobile 1 & covers GM, Ford, Chrysler & most import applications.
I do know that after using Amsoil for 20k in mine, it was spotless inside when I dropped the pan, with very little metal debris on the magnet.

I'd stay away from blends in favor of pure syn.

Well, I think I will go to Summit tomorrow and see what they carry. I know they have the Royal Purple motor oil, so hopefully they will have the trans fluid as well...

I just need to figure out what to get before Saturday.

The Royal Purple website said that Pep Boys is a retailer, doesnt say what versions of their brand they sell though.

Oh, Napa started carrying RP around August of last year. I used to get 50% off of all my purchases cuz the checker at my local Napa liked me... Oh Danielle. (Shameless plug: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...eferrerid=1999) if only she didn't smoke cigarettes. But that Napa closed, now I have to spend booku like everyone else! Hmm... maybe she was giving a bunch of guys discounts and that's why they had to close shop... Keep your eyes open and you can run into one of their brown bag sales - everything you can fit in the bag gets you 20% to 40% off (forget which). I got a bunch of discount RP last time I went.
