Type Of Tranny Fluid?

[cowboy21]

What type of tranny fluid do our 07 NBS auto transmissions use. Dexron II or III.

[Nice rig]

Should be in your manual. Time for a change already...or leak?

Dexron-VI IIRC. Its backward compatible but do not put any previous forms of Dexron in.

I would add that the new Dex VI is a full synthetic and is now available almost everywhere.

My '99 calls for Dex III (I know this thread is about an '07), but I have a question: will the new Dexrons affect the longevity of my old (and at 275,000 miles, I mean old) transmission? The Valvoline Max Life I've been using seems to have changed so that it's now rated Mercon V, but it says it's compatible with Dex III. Anyone have any experience with mixing the two?

Define everywhere. Here are the places I checked locally that do NOT carry it.

 

NAPA

AutoZone

O'Reilly Auto Parts

WalMart

 

The only place I could find it was the dealer at $7.95 a quart. My trucks first transmission came a quart low so I got that one for free. After my 3rd transmission I don't even check anymore I couldn't care less if it fell out.

Advance Auto Parts has it. It is made my Castrol..

use Dex VI

 

anywhere you go it'll be about $6-8, even at the Dealer. Pep Boys and Kragen carry it also. Auto Zone can get it, but it's special order.

Sorry, I had just assumed it had become readily available. We are not normally that far ahead of the curve on something like this.

 

Anyway, we (CARQUEST) have it avail. It is mfg code CQO and the part # is CQ 426. It should sell in most stores in the upper $4.00 range. I cannot promise you every CQ store has it yet but we have had it avail for a couple of months. They can order it if necessary. I believe we also offer it in Valvoline branded but I did not check the part # on it.

AMSOIL's ATF is also Dexron VI and runs $9.05 a qt retail. If you are interested I can quote a price delivered to your door.

Hey Nick, glad to see around. Amsoil is what is in mine.

 

Hey, I bought the severe gear lube today and will be changing my gear oil soon.

it should not harm the trans, my recommendation is to introduce a small amount into the system and change the filter immediately because the new fluid will pickup more contaminents and enhancing your chance of having it clogged up due to it cleaning better.
