What transmission fluid needed for a standard 1999 Isuzu Rodeo?

Answer 1

== == Depending on the type of manual transmission you have (MUA, RMN, or Borg-Warner T5), a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo (4 cyl or V6) will require either Synchromesh fluid, or Dexron III (yes, that's technically automatic Transmission Fluid, but certain manual transmissions such as the Borg Warner T5 actually do call for DEXIII ATF). MUA or RMN transmissions: Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid, 5W30 viscosity. It's a light amber-colored fluid.. Synchromesh fluid is also available in other brands, such as Pennzoil, Royal Purple, and GM. Vehicles with MUA or RMN transmissions will need 3.15 quarts of fluid. Borg Warner T-5 transmission: Dexron III ATF. This is a reddish colored fluid. Vehicles with this type of transmission will need 2.2 quartsof fluid. Your next question is probably, "So how do I know which type of transmission I have?" In our experience, the MUA transmission has been more common. However, you'll want to verify; perhaps you can call the dealership with your VIN number and they can decode what type of transmission you have. Perhaps someone with more experience or resources can chime in...
