SUBJECT: DEXRON-IIE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE FLUID GENERAL INFORMATION

MODELS AFFECTED: ALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS/TRANSAXLES




General Motors has developed a new 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 serviceable back 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.
