The L300 uses just standard dexronIII not a partial synthetic correct?

That is my question? I am going to run auto-rx in it. Just wondering what fluid it takes.
Probably used Dexron-III originally. Dexron-VI is the correct fluid now.
It's a lady freinds car and she does not have a owners manual. I thought I heard that they had no trans dipsticks.
Well now look what you all have made me have to do............

Great forum, I'm over there as well. Although, once you read about all the strange things you have to fix on those cars, you'd never want to own one.
Anyway, if it's the 4-speed auto then it's correct that the transmission does not have a dipstick. You'll need a scantool to verify the fluid temperature, then you can use the check plug to check the fluid level.

How does this check plug that you speak of work? How do you check the fluid? Special procedure I take it?
The fluid has to be heated to check the level.
I have an Auto XRay scan tool, maybe that will work.

In Brian's thread, he discusses his experience in the third-to-last post.
If you pull the pan and put 7 quarts in, chances are you might be able to skip the fluid level check altogether. Of course, measure the amount that you remove from the pan to verify that it's actually 7 quarts as it may vary by model.

Thanks for the info.
