Don't let them put ATF in the T/C, its a common mistake as may oil sites have the wrong info, ATF is only used in single speed AWD T/C.

I just went searching through here for the name of the cheaper fluid that many people here are using for the TC's so I could advise the diff place. It is Mobil 424 power steering and transmission fluid.

Now I am confused!

Mobil 424 is a hydraulic oil not ATF, I haven't used it but will when I do my T/C, some are sceptical about using "tractor oil" but have you looked into the price of a tractor! a tractor T/C would be worth 10's of thousands of $$$ so I would use the best protection I could in my tractor.

I would advise against using anything other then the genuine fluid in the power steering, it is a hydraulic fluid (not ATF) & 424 may work but the MOPAR stuff is not that dear so I would stick with MOPAR.

424

Have a look at this thread - Drover has a pic of a 1L bottle.

Yep that's the correct stuff for the TC.

I think Clarky was just clarifying that it's not an "ATF" fluid; it's a hydraulic & transmission fluid. "Transmission" in this context referring to "hydraulic transmission". In reality just meaning it's a "better" oil. But also doesn't have the same detergents and other additives as an "ATF" fluid like we'd put in the Jeep's auto.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that a hydraulic fluid is doesn't expand when headed (well very little) & resists being compressed, where as ATF expands when heated & has a measure of compression to withstand shock load.

James probably said it better then me.

To me the wording on the bottle is aimed at commercial/Industrial applications & "Transmission" dose not mean Automatic Transmission.
