Models Affected:
1976-1992 ALL HYDRA-MATIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS/TRANSAXLES
Bulletin Covers:
General Motors has developed a new service fill automatic transmission/transaxle fluid which is designated DEXRON-IIE. This fluid is the preferred
fluid for all HYDRA-MATIC automatic transmission/transaxles and will eventually replace DEXRON II. DEXRON-IIE is acceptable for use wherever
DEXRON II was previously specified. DEXRON II is acceptable for use when DEXRON-IIE is not available. DEXRON-IIE can be used in both
electronically and hydraulically controlled transmissions/transaxles.
DEXRON-IIE Advantages:
Has better anti-foaming characteristics.
Improved low temperature flow characteristics (low temperature viscosity) and improved high temperature oxidation stability.
DEXRON-IIE and DEXRON II can be mixed in any ratio. No draining or flushing of system is required.
DEXRON-IIE is back serviceable to 1949 for all General Motors automatic transmission/transaxles.
No change in transmission/transaxle calibration or reduction in transmission/transaxle durability will occur as a result of using DEXRON-IIE.
