Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) can help remove rust to some extent due to its lubricating properties and additives, but it is not specifically designed for rust removal. It may loosen rust and corrosion, making it easier to clean, but for effective rust removal, dedicated rust removers or treatments are recommended. Additionally, ATF can help protect metal surfaces from further corrosion when used after cleaning.

Why is your Volvo 240 DL leaking automatic transmission fluid?

Look underneath the car. Is it super clean around the rear of transmission and a little ways down drive shaft? If so, you may need to replace the extension housing gasket and bushings. The piece that contains these parts is at the rear of the transmission where the driveshaft connects. Over time this thing can start leaking pretty good. Fluid will be slung by the driveshaft onto the underside of the car. The high detergent value of transmission fluid will "clean" off the underside of your car, including the factory corrosion resistant coating! be sure to recoat underbody after repair or rust will destroy your ride. Be thorough with the inspection because trans fluid can get in some unexpected areas.

What is the difference between AFT3 and AFT4 transmission fluid?

I think you mean ATF, (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Dexron is not a universal fluid. Chrysler four-speed automatics only use ATF+3 (ATF+4 for newer vehicles), regardless of what the dipstick or owner's manual says. Chrysler ATF+3 fluid is no longer the only fluid to use in a late model transmission. Chrysler TSB# 21-006-01 notes that all current vehicles only use ATF+4 type 9602, part 05013457AA (for quart bottles). The advantages of ATF+4 over ATF+3 include: Better anti-wear properties, Improved rust/corrosion prevention, Controls oxidation -Eliminates deposits, Controls friction, Anti-foaming, Superior low temperature operation: From what I have read ATF+3 is not synthetic but ATF+4 is synthetic. Use what your owners manual states or ask you local chrysler dealer, but do not under any circumstance use Dexron or a universal fluid.
