Usualy I use havoline mercron dexron 3 but this last time I went to advanced auto parts they only had a case of their own label brand. The guy said it was made by havoline. The bottle looked similar and the box said "compare to havoline". Eh so anywyas I picked it up because its what they had in a box and I need to change my fluid as I burnt it about a month ago. (I know I know) I will tackle it next weekend along with the tranny cooler I suppose. Is this stuff ok to use? Is it all the same with ATF? Does anyone know if this is really havoline?
I may also pop down the pan...
I have a new screen but will keep the old one if it looks good. Can I just throw that in the parts cleaner?
Also with the cooler, My tranny will run pretty cool most of the time but I needed the cooler for when it doesnt. There is a thermostat but I was wondering, wil that hurt the transmission when its closed and not let fluid out of the converter? Or is it always open a little bit?
thanks!
