bgred2 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 What brand Dexron 3 do you use and where do you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I used to get whatever brand of Dex III at AutoZone or Kragen. Getting harder to find, I use Dex IIII (or anything labeled Dex III or better) now. I'm not looking for brand, just the Dex (III or IIII).

Eagle Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Dexron III has been replaced by Dexron IV. You can get it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Dex 4 is NOT an acceptable fluid for an aw4 found in xj and mj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseMJ Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Dex/Merc (Dex 4) has been the only ATF in my 1990 AW4 slushbox for 4-5 years and about 50K miles. If it's not good for my tranny then I'm screwed. Now ATF+4 is a different story. That's for Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kro10000 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 ATF+4 is for chryslers. At oreillys we sell the valvoline dex/merc which will work for dex III, also our oreillys brand "multipurpose fluid" also is dex III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Dex 4 is NOT an acceptable fluid for an aw4 found in xj and mj Why not? (Said the guy with the 5-speeds) sorry, I did mean atf + 4. atf + 4 disintegrates all of the brass in the clutch packs. I've not heard GOOD things about dex merc IV, either, though. but then again, I haven't heard bad things...I can still dex merc III, so why would I bother buying IV. you can get III at bumper to bumper.
