Oga you just want to show your self by correcting what is not wrong, I specified the car & year model..
Sorry Sir. cool


I dont want madam to say we'v relegated dexron III that is used in the States grin as just mere power steering fluid embarassed


In all, it is not about who is right or wrong. It is about CarTalk, and the need to inform car users.

But one oil/coolant seller Oga said we should not do that.. He said nairalanders should do research grin grin
His words below

dru:
People need to start doing their own findings.. All the information you are giving him is readily avaliable on line.. Why don't you guys preach that ...he can always get a second opinion too ..." Teach a man how to fish, not give him fish " .. .
Most of the things I learn here ,I research them online.. We need to be at times self educated ... I can recall a link was posted to help those looking for the right weight of oil for their car.... Encourage people to self sufficient, that is how you help people...

The Dexron III is an ATF meant for older AT's, it is an automatic transmission Fluid, just like the WS or Mecron LV.


It is suitable for vehicles before 2002.


Infact, running a WS on a vehicle that is supposed to run Dexron III is one calling for trouble, expecially if the transmission has done over 150,000 miles.

It is important that one finds out what fluid is suitable for ones vehicle and stick with it. All this stuffs are in the manual, but which car owner sabi manual grin, they just trash the big book. And trust parts sellers to tell them, e go work, e go work. Oga na the same thing.
Well with me again.....you mention autozone, Carquest, stores that sell parts.. That basically they are just selling without following the cars manual. I don't know if I totally agree on that.
In my own case ,when I was looking for transmission fluid for my elantra.. The first thing I did was to google it ,so Google brought out elantras manual and correct fluid that is needed.. Which was Hyundai fluid... so with that I now went on ebay to select the fluid.. Luckily enough Hyundai fluid was there at a great price ...And at the same there were other fluid that was also compatible with the elantra... I also research that to be very ok ...so I do wonder at times that people do have a hard finding the rite fluid for their cars.
I never had that problem, if worse comes to comes, I just call the dealership ,to get more information... And you might be rite about the car parts company.. They might sell you something that might not be as quality as what the car manufacture recommended.. It is a toss up at times and people should just read the manufacturer's manual... if they can't use Google I guess... personally I had never had any issues looking via Google method

Dextron 111 cannot and would never be compatible with Toyota WS fluid. I think you are mixing up things here. Read up the 3rd link. Dextron 111 would work perfectly well on older camry 1999,2000, 2001 etc. Using dextron 3 on a 2008 camry you risk loosing that transmission. It's not a debate but just the pragmatic aspect of this field
Thank you.

I don't think Dru even knows how to take a screenshot grin grin grin
As for the topic on ground
I don't think Dextron III is right for a 2007 Camry
As ATF - No
Power steering fluid - Yes
Better person. My whole point which they were trying to blur is that Valvoline maxx life which is the most commonly used alternative for Camry 2007 and up is a Dex III.

He simply changed how he typed. The language, thought and diction is the same. This is simply a moniker he created back when we first started coming down on him to try to look more serious and save face. He said it himself using both monikers that he had some stuff he was planning hence the choice of new name. Also, look at the user history m

Sorry about how YouTube chose to crop it. For some reason, it lowered eye level. The original video shows better. Maybe it has to do with YouTube's aspect radio.

The maxx life is not Dex III but mercon LV/Dexron VI, but formulated to be applicable over a range of viscosities

That is why it is applicable for the 2007 Camry, not because it is dexron III, because it is not.


Albeit, backward compartibe with Dexron III, II


It is just like the AISIN AW+


Now, do you understand ma.

Parts for your car are expensive because they are not readily available.

I'm actually out of all the spark plugs for your car! I didn't stock heavily past 10 years. My mistake. Do you have a preference? I have denso, ngk, autolit, champion and Bosch. I like denso and ngk though as a good price-performance balance.
