Dexron 3 equivalent?

Postby XJ_Driver » Sun Jul 26, 2020 10:59 am

Good morning,

Upon checking, I've just found my PAS fluid level to be low, but have no Dexron 3 on hand for replenishment. Are other fluids compatible?

Advice appreciated.
Best regards,
John.

Hi John.
I'm not sure about mixing different types of oil together is a good idea.
But the amount you need to top up would not be very much so long as it's ATF it should be ok.
Hope that helps a bits.
Good luck and take care.

Thanks for the advice Andy. In fact it took very little ATF to bring the reservoir level back to normal. I had a bottle of Mannol ATF-A fluid in the garage, which I'm pretty sure I bought for a previous X308.

Thanks again.
Best regards,
John.
