Automatic transmission fluid
Snuggs - 22/12/05 at 06:02 PM

I need to top up the power steering fluid.

The manual states that it needs Dexron II D but the sticker on the resevoir says Dexron II E.

Is it OK to mix II D and II E type fluids or do I need to drain and refill the system.

ps The fluid already in is red if this helps.

You can mix most ATF oils Ok,even Dextron I and Dextron II mix fine with no problems.
Some manufacturers specify a minimum of Dextron II sometimes, but thats mainly the latest type auto boxes.
I dont think your P.S. pump will notice the difference.

Dextron II is Dextron II fine no problem
The rule is don't mix Dextron non Dextron types.
