Looking at ATF Dexron 2 for my power steering, and auto gearbox oil, do people agree/disagree? Same oil for both?

 

And in terms of brands, locally available is Triple QX or Granville

 

Cheers!

I've been told Dexron 3 for gearbox oil, I think power steering as well.

ATF Dexron ll was is an old formulation from the seventies, it was changed to Dedxron ll D to suit newer style transmissions in the eighties with addition surface/ friction modifiers, however it suffer`s from hygroscopic issues despite several re-blends and as it is not see easy to find, so on the face of it Dexron lll is the better bet, either Triple QX or Granville will be fine for both the automatic gearbox and the power steering.

Thanks guys, found the Dexron 3.

 

On that note, what about the diff fluid? Seen recommendations for Redline synthetic 75w90.

 

What about Triple QX EP 75w90? (fully syn, can get in semi too)

Yes the Triple QX EP 75w90 will be fine in semi.
