Dexron III ATF question
An auto supply told me that my 91 Accord 4 cyl auto trans can use the
Dexron III ATF in place of the Dexron II that the manual calls for. Is the auto parts store correct? Just wanted to be sure before I ever put the stuff in the car. |

Your owner's manual is very clear that you should use the real thing. If you're stranded in Armpit, Albetra, or maybe Eyebrow, Saskatchewan, you can use the Dextron III, or use it to flush your tranny. Real Honda tranny fluid has all kinds of additives that are necessary to give you tranny the happy long life (and half-decent shifting) that Honda the Honda technical Gurus have 'forseen'. :-) IOW you tranny will have a Happier New Year with OEM tranny fluid. 'Curly' ====================== -- |

I should add that the Dexron III is actually labelled something like Dexron III Mercon (sp???) that the auto supply guy said could be used in the 1991 Honda Accord. |

The Mercon (Dextron III) will work, but it won't work as well, or for as long. Your choice. :-( 'Curly' =============== |
