    So it means di ko pwedi gamitin or di advisable Dextron III sa Galant? Yung nilagay before ng Casa is Caltex Alisson C4 rating naman. Tapos meron silang Mitsubishi atf di daw pwedi gamitin sa oto ko dahil pang new cars lang those triptonic ones. I'm really confused..Please enlighten me po..

    in our shop we use dexron II and up (Dexron III, Mercon, Mercon V) for Galants. Always remember that if you're car is mandated to use Dexron II, you can only use Dexron II or higher types of ATF.

    To give you an example, 1-lowest 5-highest

    1. Allison c4
    2. ATF - HDP
    3. Dexron II
    4. Dexron III
    5. Mercon
    6. Mercon V

    If your car's OEM ATF is Alisson (or Diamond for that matter) you can only use Allison or higher. If your car is rated Dexron III, you can only use DexIII, Mercon & Mercon V.

    Caltex have stopped refining Alisson C4 last year.

    Can you tell me what happened to your car? Your details are a bit fuzzy. Why did you undergo ATF replacement? What are you experiencing now? Shift Shock? Shift Lag?

    wala available na dex1 dito eh.

    lumabas lang yung tok sound after you changed ATF?

    what's your vehicle make and model?

    *torque2006-thanks Sir for that info. Actually twice a year ako magpalit ng atf and this time I want to try synthetic para better shifting and protected yung tranny. Concern ko lang Sir is kung tama yung ginamit kong atf na redline high temp with dextron III rating. And kung walang masisira sa tranny? What is shift lag? Yung shift shock nabawasan. May bubbles nga konti pag check ko baka nga over filling tulad ng sabi mo, lagpas sa hot region ng about 1 cm. Or di kaya yung bubbles ay nag form dahil nag mix yung old non syn sa full syn? Thanks for helping Sir!
