Yes, Dexron VI can replace both Dexron III and Mercon V fluids, as it is designed to be backward compatible with these older formulations. Dexron VI offers improved performance and stability, making it suitable for use in vehicles that originally required Dexron III or Mercon V. However, it's important to check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a professional to ensure compatibility.

What kind of transmission fluid does a 1993 mercury villager take?

Mercon/Dexron or Mercon VI.


Can you substitute Mercon V for Dexron III or vice-versa?

Dexron-III/Mercon (D/M) does NOT meet the Mercon V (M-V) or Dexron-VI (D-VI) rating and should NEVER be used in a transmission that requires M-V or D-VI. However, M-V and D-VI both exceed the D/M spec and can be used in a transmission that calls for D/M transmission fluid. Despite this, there is really no point in using M-V or D-VI in a transmission designed to use D/M because those transmissions do not get any added benefit from them despite M-V and D-VI being roughly double to triple the price of conventional D/M.


Are dexron 3 and 6 interchangeable?

Dexron III and Dexron VI are not completely interchangeable.

It's always best to follow the manufacturer's specifications for transmission fluid to ensure proper function and longevity.

Is dexron 3 compatible with dexron 6?

Yes, Dexron III is generally compatible with Dexron VI. Dexron VI is an upgraded version with improved properties, and it can be mixed with Dexron III without issues, although it's always best to use the recommended fluid for optimal performance. However, for the best results, particularly in high-performance or high-temperature applications, it is advisable to fully replace the old fluid with Dexron VI. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for your vehicle to ensure compatibility.


Can you substitute mercon v for dexron VI?

MERCON V is a transmission fluid for Fords and DEXRON-VI is a fluid made for GMs. Mercon and Dexron are NOT, nor have they ever been, the same thing. People got the idea that they were because traditional ATF meets the specs of both. It doesn't mean that they have the same specs. Mercon V and Dexron VI are non-interchangeable. Always read the label of any ATF you plan to use. GM, Ford and Chrysler all use different fluids so make sure that what you choose is correct!

Transmission fluid capacity 1998 Toyota Avalon gl?

4 bottles (quarts) of fluid. I have a 1999 XLS, & I recently changed transmission fluid. Transmission was drained with removing coolent connection etc. (complete removal). I Dexron VI can be used, instead of the original Dexron III (original fluid - again Dexron III was a cutting edge when 98 Avalon was released!). Dexron VI has many advanges over Dexron III. Consult a knowledgeable mechanic, & use the proper Dexron VI for your vehicle.
