Dex III if I'm not mistaken. I just run ATF, its a little thicker and firms up the shifts.

No "t" in "Dexron" (you say it but don't spell it).

Dexron III is one type of ATF - the most common type, BTW.

I'm sorry five7 I don't know what I was thinking. I meant to put type F fluid but instead ATF came out again.LOL! The Dex III has mercon in it (what ford used to use) and now is compatible with there older transmissions Pre 80.
