Transmission Fluid Info
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have been researching what types of fluid would be
appropriate for a fluid change in the X-Type automatic
transmission other than the Jatco sold by the dealer in the
gold bottles.
There are two criteria I have been researching; suitability
(ie. meets or exceeds spec) and compatibility (ie. not a
chemistry experiment when mixed with remnants of the
original Jatco fluid).
I have finally found two fluids that claim compatability in
their spec sheets. Both Mobil 1 Multi-Vehicle ATF
http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...hicle_ATF.aspx
and Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF
http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...hetic_ATF.aspx
specify that they are 'suitable for use in vehicles that
specify....Idemitsu K17'
Will they play well with the Jatco that is in the tranny if
mixed? I don't know.
Be aware that I wrote Mobil 1 with this question and they answered
"We meet the K17 spec for our Mobil multi-vehicle new formula but we would recommend that you go to the dealer for this fluid."
