To my best guess and thinking. Gear oil is 90 weight oil and dexron3 is 10 weight oil. 90 wt. being thicker would cause your traqns to get hot and could burn up your trans. But, if it is an older transmission some auto makers recomend using heavier oil in the transmission. But this is only on a manual transmission. brewski

Only if you want to destroy your transmission. Dexron is a GM product and shouldn't be used in a Dodge. Use ATF+4 which has replaced the older ATF+3 transmission fluid.

What kind of transmission fluid do you use for a 1998 dodge truck?

my husband has a 1998 dodge truck and he uses GM Dexron-III/Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid. You can buy at any automotive store. Dodge,Chrysler and Jeep products require ATF + 4 made by Chrysler. While it is okay in a pinch to top off with GM Dexron-III/Mercon, replacing it with that will cause you problems. They are different.

What's the original transmission oil for a dodge ram 250 1994?

If it's an automatic transmission, the dipstick will tell you what kind of fluid to use, i.e. Dexron Mercron III. If it's a manual trans, any parts store can tell you what oil to use. Mark DO NOT use Dexron/Mercon or plain ATF fluid. It will burn up the transmission in Chrysler/Dodge vehicles. Use ATF+3 or the newer ATF+4 only. When you get a bottle of ATF+3, it will say on the bottle FOR USE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. - Chryslerman
