What AT fluid does a 96 Discovery with the 4.0l V8 use?   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 517 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 09:51 am:    The manual states ATF Dextron IID. I just add Lucas Transmission Fix: A non-solvent formula that stops slip, rough shifting and leaks in automatic transmissions. Use in any transmission for preventative maintenance Hope this helps.   Brian Dickens (Bri) Senior Member Username: Bri Post Number: 954 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 10:32 am:    What have you found with the transmission fix stuff? Any change? Anything bad about it?

So far I have nothing but good things to say about Lucas products....too bad I don't get anything from them, but oh well, Life goes on.   Ryan Johnson (Disco007) New Member Username: Disco007 Post Number: 2 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 04:20 pm:    just pour it right into the trans with all the other fluid. is this best after a fluid change or anytime. price?   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 521 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 04:55 pm:    Can be used anytime if you are low on fluid or during fluid change. Price, that depends on where you get it from. I buy everything by the gallon at most truck stops for about $20 for a gallon. Otherwise it is somewhere around 6 or 8 dollars. That is if I recall correctly.   Corey (Discobro) Senior Member Username: Discobro Post Number: 319 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 10:19 pm:    Can you pick up the ATF Dextron IID at truck stops too? Does the brand matter much?   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 522 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2004 - 08:51 am:    The ATF Dextron IID, can be picked up and any Kmart, Walmart, Autozone, Advance, Napa etc... Brand is more of a personal thing then most people care to admit. Within reason all types of fluid are similar, some just work better for some people in some environments. Kind of like the standard versus synthetic issue. If you change the oil every 3k who cares what type of oil you run. Standard should be good for 7500 miles under normal conditions and synthetic can go better than 15k (with a filter change). Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy any oil that has some name I have never heard of without at least looking them up first.
