Tranny - Diff Fluid Change - Recommendations?
Hey Folks,
Doing a tranny and diff service on my 85 AT today.
Was wondering what brand / type fluids I should pickup and also in what quantities?
TIA for the help.
Cheers
Bernie

Searched on here and several like Mobil 1 fluid. IIRC dextron III or above is sufficient (may check your manual).
Used it last weekend when I swapped out gasket and filter. Did not drain torque converter. I purchased 4 qts and have more than a half quart left.

I've been real happy lately with Redline full synth along with a bottle of atf seal treatment, the diff I use Redline 90. Since you didn't drain the tc the first time around, I'd start over with completely fresh trans fluid.

Thanx fellas,
Ended up going with a Valvoline full synth. Couldn't find any of the others today and I was in a hurry to get it done.
Do appreciate the responses though!
