It's time to drain and refill automatic transmission fluid. After reading the glories of castrol transmax z on Lcool considering switching to it except that it is prohibitively expensive.:icon-rolleyes:
Are there any relatively economical alternatives to transmax?
What are the pros and cons of replacing generic Dexron 111 oil with Synthetic ATF?
Have you heard of or used multi functional synthetic transmission fluid MV0 LT71141? I found this on Fleabay £100 for 20lt

Thanks

I always used Dexron III. It coped with heat, cold and everything else, big loads included. Never had gearbox issues other than a bent pin on a connector that messed about with the TC lock up. Stick with Dexron III, change it at prescribed intervals abd don't overfill.

If just draining, be sure to collect the old fluid so you can measure how much to put in. If cleaning the mesh filter be sure to do the same. Not all the oil drains and its important to replace what you drain provided its filled to correct levels in the first place.
