That is a great question!
...because Ive read that the "one size fits all" fluids can vary between brands.


Seeing as I don't have much of a choice since Dex II and Dex III are not available, I went with Castrol Dex/Merc because they are a pretty reputable company and are reasonably priced (1 gallon costs $17.99 at my local Autozone).

I didn't want to mess with the Valvoline Maxlife stuff only because I didn't want to mix a synthetic oil with my FF Dex II... I'm a "Nervous Nelly" when it comes to transmissions.


Interesting, since you said earlier:

Haha, I don't even want to use the Dex/Merc stuff. I would however feel better if Dex III was available; but ultimately, I would use Dex II if it was still around!


I think the Castrol Dex/Merc will probably work just fine.

Right, I said I don't want to use it, but since I don't have a choice, I have to use it!
