Need to change the fluid in my 05 with 125K. No issues, fluid has not been changed, color is still good with no off odors. After reading here looks like a pan drop is the safest way to go, along with a filter.
SO which fluid, the universal Dex/Merc (replacement for the old Dex lll) OR the newer Dexron?
thanks
 


I was under the impression VI was usable in all versions of Dexron and was the newest advancement In trans fluId..?

Dex III is supposed to cling to the differential a little better and provide more protection for it apparently.

asposed-to.
 
ive also heard dex 5 is thinner then dex 3. but in a car that calls for dex 5 thats what its supposed to use.

dex 3 is still very available. very.

i would just use what your year car calls for.
 
its much thinner when cold (good) and slightly thinner when hot (good and bad).

For a daily, dex VI all the way.
 


Mine has 139k I'm doing It in the next few days with VI but that's just me..

I was curious about the shift kits.. anyone had any experience installing them and/or any tips? recommendations?
