If you want the best, go for the Redline D4, Amsoil ATF or Fuchs 5000.

Cheers Tim. I went for the Dexron 3

 

That will be fine for it.

Sorry to drag this up but just doing a search and one of my questions has been answered I have another one though and that is:

Does the oil colour make any difference? I am changing my power steering pump and reservoir next week and going by what's leaked out of it the oil colour is a beige/light brown colour and I have some here at Dex 3 that is red and I'm wondering if it would be ok for me to top up with the red one?

Sorry one more question How much oil does the system hold?

Thank you

 

A Dexron III should be absolutely fine. Not sure why the oil in there was brown/beige, as a matter of convention ATFs tend to be red. There is no particular reason for that, it's just a dye, so it might have been an un-dyed dexron 3 oil, but that is a bit weird.

Cheers

Thanks very much

Don't suppose you know how much the system should take?

Thanks again

 

I don't have ATF capacities listed, but it should be about a litre.

No worries

Thanks again

 

would any of those dexron 3 be ok for a 2005 sti Tim?

 

Just replied to your email.

Cheers

A brown appearance in an ATF fluid like Dexron most times comes from overheating and /or Oxidation, but a BEIGE appearance means that water came into the fluid and was emulsified, giving a milky type of appearance. Anyway, a complete flushing and fluid replacement is in order. Use at least two to three liters of new fluid to completely clean and flush the system. Best luck, Amclaussen.
