Dexron III is the correct fluid for this application
You add the transmission fluid using the same tube that the transmission dip stick is in, use a long flexable funnel, and do not over fill.
as long as you '''DON'T''' flush it, you should be ok. DO NOT let the shop trick you in to a flush. If the transmission fluid has been low or is very old, the gears inside the transmission are not lubricated as they should be while driving. When the metal gears rub against each other with little or no fluid for lubrication, lots of little metal shavings will be created and end up in the transmission fluid filter. When you get one of those flushes the shops will try to sell you, the transmission fluid is pumped backwards through the transmission filter, then through the gears and then out of the system. This would work fine if your transmission has never been low on transmission fluid or had a clogged transmission filter. But if you have metal shaving in your transmission fluid filter/oil pan. This will be the death of your transmission. Because all the metal shavings are pumped back into the gears, where they will be stuck. Running a transmission with lots of metal shavings inside of it, is not much different from running it with sand in between the gears. So, yeah. Just like the other guy said. If you have an older or abused car, DON't let the shops talk you into getting one of those reverse transmission flushes. This will turn a transmission that's semi-usable into a completely blown transmission I'd say about 25 to 100 miles of driving later down the road.

The automatic transmission fluid in a 1997 Dodge Ram with a diesel engine helps keep the transmission components lubricated properly. This fluid gets dark and discolored over time, and loses its effectiveness and viscosity. Dodge recommends that you change the transmission fluid every time you change the transmission filter. This is a fairly easy job, albeit a messy one, that you should be able to get done in about an hour. 1. Step 1 Drive the Dodge Ram for 10 minutes to warm up the transmission fluid. Park on level ground, engage the emergency brake, and remove the key. 2. Step 2 Jack up the front of the Dodge Ram. Lower the frame onto jack stands and remove the jack. Place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan, which is on the transmission behind the rear wheels. 3. Step 3 Loosen all of the bolts on the transmission filter using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket, but do not remove them. Allow the fluid to empty into the drain pan, then remove the rest of the bolts on the filter with the ratchet and pull the pan down from the transmission. Pour any leftover fluid into the drain pan. 4. Step 4 Clean the inside of the drain pan with the mechanic's rags. Scrape the gasket material off the transmission pan and the transmission using the gasket scraper. Install the gasket on the transmission pan. Bolt the assembly onto the transmission using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket, tightening them in a crisscross pattern. Tighten the bolts to 150 inch/lbs using the torque wrench. 5. Step 5 Jack up the Dodge Ram enough to remove the jack stands. Lower the truck. Pop the hood and locate the dipstick with the yellow handle for the transmission fluid. Remove the dipstick and put the funnel in the dipstick tube. 6. Step 6 Pour the automatic transmission fluid into the funnel, then reinsert the dipstick in the dipstick tube. Start the Dodge Ram and keep it running for 15 minutes. Pull out the transmission dipstick and check to see if the level is between the two dots on the bottom of the dipstick. If it is, stop. If it isn't, add fluid until it is. Change the filter while the pan is off, only use ATF+4 ( not Dextron), and check the fluid level in nuetral.

You can use any type of SAE certified transmission fluid in your 1997 Chevrolet Blazer. You can check the transmission fluid level with the transmission fluid dipstick.
The automatic transmission fluid temperature sensor on a 1997 Chevy Blazer S10 is located on top of the transfer case. It is in the engine compartment.
dumb question, you put the transmission fluid is the hole the dip stick is in, its like this on all cars that i know of
Yes, automatic transmission fluid is the proper fluid for power steering systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( MERCON ) automatic transmission fluid in a 1997 Ford Aerostar power steering
NO. The two fluids are not the same. Buy a can of the proper P/S fluid.
yup
Yes. They both use the 4L60E transmission.
Assuming this is an automatic transmission, pull the dipstick out and read it, it will tell you the proper ATF to use.
If your car is still running, IMMEDIATELY drain the fluid from your transmission and change the filter. Then refill it with proper fluid. Hopefully you only topped up your tranny with it so there is still proper fluid in there and this might have saved you.
The proper transmission fluid for an automatic Celica is Toyota Type T-IV transmission fluid. DO NOT use Dexron or Mercon. The manual uses 75W-90 gear oil.
Will a 1997 blazer what work on a 1999 blazer????? If your talking engine, transmission, or running gear than yes. It is all the same.
A 1997 Lincoln Continental will use Mercon transmission fluid- AX4N Transmission
