Service Considerations
continued
In GM automatic transmissions, DEXRON®-III fluids are back-serviceable to all
earlier GM ATF specifications including DEXRON®-IIE, DEXRON®-II, DEXRON®,
Type A, Suffix A and Type A. This back serviceability is not always applicable to
other makes of automatic transmissions, nor to non-automatic transmission
applications, so in all cases equipment manufacturer requirements should be
reviewed.
DEXRON® type ATFs in particular are widely specified for use in non-automotive
equipment, including hydraulic systems and air compressors. Texamatic 1888 is
suitable for use in such equipment where DEXRON®-III or MERCON® fluids are
specified.
Vehicle power steering systems are safety critical, and as such should always
be serviced with fluids that fully conform to the individual manufacturer’s
requirements. Some power steering systems are designed to use ATFs. In
those cases where ATFs of the DEXRON®-III or MERCON® type without additional
requirements are specified or permitted, Texamatic 1888 may be used. It is not
suitable for use where more specialized power steering fluids are required, such as
in many vehicle models from Honda, Toyota and other manufacturers.
