PATHRIDER Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Im going to do a trans cooler on my hardbody and figured change the oil on both the trans and tcase. I read on here that a trans fluid can also be used on our pathys tcase and while im doing all this fluid change I might as well do my power steering What fluid do you guys recommend for both the trans and tcase? I was thinking of going with Castrol (import vehicle) or should it be dex/merc ? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94pathfinder Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 just use regular dex/merc, that is all these tranny's and t-cases need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yep that is what I understand also. Keep it changed regularly and should be fine... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Dex 3/merc is what I used and believe to be appropriate. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys The transfer cases uses Dexron II (now obsolete by Dexron III last i checked) same as the automatic transmission and power steering system. but if you are so inclined and have a manual transmission you can use GL4 as far as I know. I already had GL4 in my transfer case so switching over to auto trans fluid would be silly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardlydangerous Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Synthetic reall help to keep theings cooler and lasting longer, and wont gunk up like mineral based atfs do. there are several synthetics on the market that at DexIII/Merc and far better then conventional ATF's Edited March 6, 2010 by hardlydangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Synthetic reall help to keep theings cooler and lasting longer, and wont gunk up like mineral based atfs do. there are several synthetics on the market that at DexIII/Merc and far better then conventional ATF's Problem of switching from general fluids to Synthetics is the first time you put it in, it won't have the usual length that most synthetics do as it will start breaking down all the mineral based gunk stuck inside the nooks and crannies inside. So you'll have to replace it at the same interval as a regular fluid. And i think the second one, I'm not 100%. but if you have an automatic I'd recommend just going with an ATF for the Transfer case. Cheaper and easier.
