Hi,
My Dodge Caravan LE 3.3V6 has 150,000 miles on it. I'm going to change the transmission fluid. My mechanic told me there is a Mobil 1 automatic trans fluid, and recommended I use that. Checking on the web, how to change oil, I found this: " For example some Chrysler transmissions need only specific type of fluid and regular fluid like Dexron II can even destroy the transmission." Mobile 1 isn't dextron 2, but is there anything wrong with using the mobil 1 product? It's a 3 speed with overdrive. And can dextron 2 really destroy a Dodge transmission?
Thanks, Mike
ps: how do i change the fluid in the torque converter? If you just drop the pan, replace the filter and gasket, button it up, and pour in new oil, won't that be contaminated by the oil in the converter? Is this a problem?
