Transmission Oil Help Quick!
well, i am going to replace my transmission oil, and i think i have decided on Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. i went searching on ebay, and i saw 20 quarts (what i need) of Mobil ATF 3309. here is what the auction stated:
Mobil ATF 3309 is recommended for use in transmissions made by Aisin AW requiring a fluid approved against Type T-IV, JWS 3309, GM 9986195, Saab 3309, Volvo 1161540, and Audi G-055-025-AZ. These Aisin AW transmissions are used in CERTAIN domestic and foreign vehicles, including Toyota, Lexus, Audi, Saturn, Ford, Volvo, Volkswagen, Saab, Porsche, and Mitsubishi.
This is not a Dexron, Mercon ATF and is for newer cars, typically five speed automatics. Only dealers carry this ATF (own labels) and costs $11-16 per quart.
Check your owners manual or dealer to see if you need any of the above specs for your ATF. If you do, you cannot use other ATF's including synthetic or "universal" ones without risking a transmission damage.
it said that it is "not a Dexron, Mercon ATF''... but i need a MerconIII fluid, right? is this the stuff to use? its only $3.85 a quart on the auction block.\

cool. i found a bunch of Royal Purple oil on ebay. $6.99 a quart, which equals to $139.80, with free shipping on 20 quarts. i am thinking of getting two cases (24 quarts, and maybe an extra 4 quarts, and do the transfer case. i have heard that you can use ATF in that, is that true?
