Kendall Versatrans ATF
I am hoping someone can tell me if this ATF is ok for my 1988 4 speed auto. It is a blended synthetic. From what I searched I see it needs to be Dextron 3 or better as this oil is.
Thanks

Read the rear label for the Kendal product. The info on the back should tell you which versions is compatible. I understand your concerns, i was confused at first too!
I recently used Valvoline high mileage ATF, its working great and its only 13 dollars a gallon at Wal-Mart.

My label (valvoline) stated it would work with Dextron 3 (DEX) ATF model cars.
Unless the products states it is DEX 3 approved , I would not put it in my ATF. I know a few guys who used Mobil one, i am not sure what the acutal label stated.

Its a fine ATF for the 928.

Yes i was very pleased with the red gallon jug of the Valvoline AFT fluid. The car seems to shift very good. I was concerned at first due to it being sooooooooo much cheaper than everything else i had seen.
Make sure when you are pumping in the new trans fluid you have your car running in neutral. It makes a big difference! I filled my car up to the minimum level and then drove the car around to see if the level raised past the min ta max level. It can be a messy job so put down some newspapers.
Be careful with both drain plugs, they can easily strip out and you will have to purchase a Mercedes plugs due to Porsche discontinuing the part. I really hate allen head screws! You might try PB blaster on each unit before trying to remove them.
good luck!
