Dexron III/Mercon automotive Transmission Fluid (ATF) is generally recommended as a replacement fluid for automatic transmissions meeting original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) performance requirements for current General Motors, Ford, other domestic and imported passenger cars, vans and light trucks where DEXRON II, DEXRON II-E, DEXRON III, AND Ford/MERCON fluids are specified.
Dexron VI is a partial synthetic which properties exceed dexron III by 100% in every area. Dexron VI can not be interchanged or repalced with DEXRON II, DEXRON II-E, DEXRON III, DEXRON-III/MERCON.
Dexron III and Dexron VI are not completely interchangeable. While Dexron VI is backward compatible with Dexron III, using Dexron III in a vehicle designed for Dexron VI may not provide optimal performance and could lead to potential issues. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's specifications for transmission fluid to ensure proper function and longevity.
The major difference between SP iii and Dexron iii is the lubrication modifier. SP iii contains more lubrication qualities than Dexron iii. You can interchange the two but run a slight chance of premature wear using Dexron iii where SP iii is indicated.
Better or not, really isn't the question. Dexron-II has been replaced by Dexron-III. Any transmission that used Dexron-II can now use Dexron-III. Fluids labeled Dexron-III/Mercon are also acceptable.
Dexron III is itself an hydraulic fluid. The issue is, not all hydraulic fluids are equal in quality. General Motors recommends replacing the discontinued Dexron III with Dexron VI
Dexron III can be used and you can also use the newest Dexron VI which is backward compatible and provides more protection than Dexron III.
Honda originally specified Dexron II for that transmission. Dexron II no longer exists, as it was later superceded by Dexron III. So, use Dexron III. You will frequently see bottles of ATF that say "Dexron III/Mercon" or "Dex/Merc" for short. That's the stuff to use.
yes
dexron III or dexron IV can be used
Dexron III. You can Dexron, Dexron II, Dexron IIE, Dexron III, and Dexron V as suitable substitutes depending on availability. Lower numbers indicate a shorter lifespan of the fluid before you need to change it. Do no use Dexron IV (aka Manual Transmission Fluid) as this is likely to cause problems.
Yes. Dexron III/Mercon automotive transmission fluid (ATF) is generally recommended as a replacement fluid for automatic transmissions meeting original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) performance requirements for current General Motors, Ford, other domestic and imported passenger cars, vans and light trucks where DEXRON II, DEXRON II-E, DEXRON III, AND Ford/MERCON fluids are specified.
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.
