NO! lol... i wouldnt if you used that container for other uses making the atf contaminated.. just use any dexIII whether its dino or sythetic it doesnt matter.. 1/2 at wont matter but definately put something in there to get it where it needs to be.. go get a quart of maxlife dexIII for $3.50 and top it off.. it wont hurt a thing btw how does she shift now?? also tip for ya.. do drain and fills every 15-20k miles with amsoil and you will never have to flush again!! thats what i am gonna do as soon as i get some tires put on

I found a quart of fresh ATF in my garage so all is well.

Thanks again everyone!

Quattro15

Oh...and the shifts are dreamy smooth now...AWESOME!!!

mkgarrison5

SWEET!!!! i told you would see a major improvment. its great stuff!! expensive yes but really top notch stuff... you dont have to worry about burning that up anytime soon.. just remember to drain and fill periodically to help keep fresh atf in and never have to worry about flushing ever again. btw keep an eye on your atf level for awhile to make sure you arent leaking atf

For sure...Goat, you were a great help as well. I'm very fortunate for the info as I like my wallet to stay as intact as possible. It's very hard for me to throw my money to the rabid stealership monster!

Thanks!

know what you mean... i can give you a tip on how to save $ on oil changes :-)


dont use synthetics unless they are on sale :-)

my picks of non syn oils

Valvoline maxlife 10w30 or 5w40 --- i would use that in your truck and run it 3-5k miles.. if you arent hard on your truck then you can change it at 5k miles... no need for M1 in our motors seriously.. M1 is highly overrated anyway.. i run valvolin synpower only bc it was buy one get one free at advance auto and i stocked up on it in 10w30


Penzoil- any flavor
