(In the Chrysler's case, filling with Dexron or Mercon when the transmission specs ATF+3 or ATF+4.) I have a Dodge (Cummins Diesel) with an automatic and I have heard of the headaches caused by filling with a wrong spec fluid. I'm currently having shifting issues, so I'm looking at draining and refilling the fluid. However it does not mention Mazda's M-III, nor does it mention compatibility with the VW, Jag, or Rover fluids. It meets the requirements of some vehicles including Mercon V. Being that it's the same transmission across many makes, there should be one fluid that meets all of the above specs. $9 GRAND?! I can buy two of my vans for that price.Īnyhow. But that appears to be a Nissan OEM fluid. Some other Jatcos spec a weird "Matic S, K or D" fluid that I've never heard of. Land Rover specs an Esso part number, a Shell part number, an Idemitsu part number, Mercon V, and a Jatco proprietary fluid. Jaguar specs an OEM fluid number "C2S 12120" VW Specs an OEM fluid, number "G 052 990 A2" I've read that the M does NOT stand for Mercon, which is usually used in Ford products.
