Stupid questions

[PSDF350]

1) I need to top off tranny fluid it calls for Dexron II but alls i can find is Dexron III, is that o.k?

2) I need to also top off gear oil in winch and other spots. it calls for 80w-140 MIL-L-2105C but all i can find is 85w-140 MIL-L-2105E is that o.k?

3) also need to top off hydrualic fluid and 1 of the recomened fluids is Dexron II. is tranny fluid also hydrualic fluid? or do they make hydrualic fluid under same name? Thanks in advanced.

1) dex iii are reversable back to dex 11. Would be fine.

2) To top off you will be fine.

3) If it is listed as one of the recommended fluids then the afore mentioned Dex II applies. Will be fine. Trans fluids ccan be classified as hyd fluids some as gear oils depending on the app.

btw Not stupid questions. Too many "pros" put the wrong fluid in applications all the time. Short term effects may be minimal. The long term effects of putting in the wrong fluid or even the wrong viscosity can be very damaging.

Mark thats what i wanted to avoid. another reason why instead of just going to parts store i made the trip to dealer. just so i could buy and learn. worked out to. becuase instead of the 80w-140 gear oil it turns out i would be better off with the 80-90.

there you go. The oem is always the first place to start.
