tranny oil

[xj2202009]

What tranny oil should I use for an 05 TB short wheel base with 130kmiles..autozone said this but I'm not sure

I was told by my CarQuest guy that only Dexron-VI was listed for my '05 TB.

I was not happy because Dex-6 is expensive,
but I'll do what I need to do to prevent a transmission repair/rebuild.

DEXRON-VI is the fluid specification for the platform. That bottle specifically says not to use with DEXRON-VI on its label. Return it and get get some DEXRON-VI or equivalent.

This is what I run in my transmission. $20 for a gallon isn't bad at all, and my transmission has 203k on it so it seems to be doing its job well.

Dex-6 is expensive,...

Good decision. Using the specified fluid isn't too expensive.

Get the dex vi from Walmart, cheapest I could find it

Same here, great stuff and meets Dex VI specs.

I've used Super Tech Dex VI from Wally World as well. Haven't had any problems with it and it was $4 a qt.
