ebuks4ever: You mean dexron iii fluid in place of LT 71141? Is it only Castrol Dexron iii that can serve as replacement among dexron 3s? |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by ebuks4ever(m): 10:59am On Nov 22, 2017 |
Ricmayak1: There are so many brands in the market to pick from. We recommend Castrol as this is also recommended by BMW. We cannot vouch for other products. But however we hear Oando has good stuff. |

flootintin: Please get the Motorcraft Mercon V. It is available in the market. |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by ebuks4ever(m): 11:11pm On Nov 28, 2017 |
From 2009, Ford transmissions using Mercon V were changed to Mercon LV. Please never interchange both as they are not compatible. The Mercon LV has lower viscosity and is made for newer transmissions. |

Car manufacturers normally specify the kind of ATF to be used for cars with automatic gearboxes. Take for example, Toyota cars do have the recommended ATF inscribed on the stick that you use to gauge the gear oil. Either D1, D11 or D111, as the case may be. So, I will simply advice that before you change your car ATF, kindly check the specification(s) on the dip stick. |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by ebuks4ever(m): 9:10pm On Nov 29, 2017 |
samblaks: Well said. However have you tried changing ATF for German cars such as VW with no dipstick? Some were originally built with hopes that ATF would last the lifetime of the vehicle but this is not so. For some cars, the specified ATFs are not in the market. In such case, we recommend a good alternative |

flootintin: If you plan on doing a flush, change back to Mercon V. How does the gear perform at the moment? If you plan on doing just a drain and refill, then you can use the Holt dex 3. |

sgtponzihater1: A good Dexron III is recommended for your automatic transmission |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by ebuks4ever(m): 11:01am On Dec 27, 2017 |
Meetleader: Recommended ATF for your ride is Toyota WS... Recommended Engine Oil is 0w20. This is much lighter than the regular oils sold on the streets. |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by sgtponzihater1(m): 3:00pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
ebuks4ever: Thanks so much. Finally, how often is a transmission oil changed. Then what's the best Engine oil, for the same Mercedes C 230 class 1998 |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by Meetleader: 3:25pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
ebuks4ever: Thanks, but you see, I haven't been able to find Mobil 1 0w-20 anywhere in Nigeria... So I opted for the 5w-30... The ATF dip stick cap for my ride reads Dextron I guess brake fluid is constant Dot 3 right... How about power steering fluid? |
Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by ebuks4ever(m): 6:52am On Dec 28, 2017 |
Meetleader: True, the Nigerian stations don't have the 0w20 because these are American oils. We have these in stock. Am surprised you have Dexron written on the dipstick because even older models of your car has Type T-IV written on their dipstick. You are right about the brake fluid. We use the Mercon V for the power steering |
