    I recently saw unused Petron Gear Oil in our bodega. it says "recommended for manual transmission" didn't mention Auto Transmission.

    can I use it in our A/T Differential Gear Oil?

    it also says available in sae90 and sae140. are there thinner than 90?

    first change oil attempt after 177t km...

    look for the oil specifications for A/T in your manual. pag A/T transmission usually DEXRON II or III, MERCON, etc ang ginagamit. baka masira lang A/T tyranny mo if you used that kind of oil. A/T tyranny has more complicated mechanical parts compared to a manual one. and sae90 and sae140 are commonly used for manual transmission only. there's a special oil called ATF that must be used exclusively for A/T.

    No AT use ATF. Don't put differential oil in it!

    As stated earlier by 2Dmax, it usually Dexron or Mercon. Mercon is used by Ford. Dexron III is almost univeral as it is used by most (not all) other car manufacturers.

    Still, check your manual on what is the correct fluid to use.
