Gentlemen: With all due respect, I hate to sound like an old English
teacher, which I'm not, and when you see my .edu e-mail you'll probably
mutter something under your breath, but there's no "T" in DEXRON.
DEXTRON is easier to say but it aint right.
Thanks in advance for not banning me from the list.

Subject: Re: [Oletrucks] dextron vs mercon
The short answer is, that you can supposedly use the newer
dextron fluids in
a transmission requiring Mercon, but not the other way around. The
fluids
that meet the specs for both transmissions will indicate that fact on
the
label. For thirty years, I have been selling a synthetic fluid that
exceeds
the specs for both fluids, and this question has come up repeatedly.
I am going to guess that there is an exception somewhere, but I
have not seen
a GM transmission that required a Mercon fluid.
