Have a 1984 944 Porsche and the manual states to use "ATF-Dextron" for the Power Steering Fluid. I would think it is ok but just wanted to check if it is ok that I use Dextron-III Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid to refill the Power Steering tank???
I doubt it. Read it again. Carefully.
There is no such fluid as "Dextron".
There's also no such fluid as "Dextron-III".
If you mean to ask if it's OK to use *Dexron* III, yes, it is.

Al - Why not call a couple of dealer service depts....just to be sure. Can't hurt.

Dexron III supercedes all previous Dexron. D-3 is better than the original Dex.
Better than that, Dexron III also supercedes all the way back to the pre-Dexron fluids including "Type A" transmission fluid.
Glad to see a few others have taken up the "there's no T in Dexron" banner, too :-)
