SUBJECT:
Dexron(R)-IIE Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Fluid

VEHICLE APPLICATIONS:
All Hydra-matic Automatic Transmissions/Transaxles

BULLETIN COVERS:

General Motors has developed a new service fill automatic transmission/transaxle fluid which is designated DEXRON(R)-IIE. This fluid is the preferred fluid for all HYDRA-MATIC automatic transmissions/transaxles and will eventually replace DEXRON(R)-II. DEXRON(R)-IIE is acceptable for use whenever DEXRON(R)-II was previously specified. DEXRON(R)-II is acceptable for use when DEXRON(R)-IIE is not available. DEXRON(R)-II and DEXRON(R)-IIE can be used in both electronically and hydraulically controlled transmissions/ transaxles.

DEXRON(R)-IIE Advantages Over DEXRON(R)-II:

^ Has better anti-foaming characteristic.

^ Improved high temperature oxidation stability and improved low temperature flow characteristics (low temperature viscosity).

^ DEXRON(R)-IIE and DEXRON(R)-II can be mixed in any ratio. No draining or flushing of system is required.

^ DEXRON(R)-IIE is back serviceable to 1949 for all General Motors automatic transmissions/transaxles.

^ No change in transmission/transaxle calibration or reduction in transmission/transaxle durability will occur as a result of using DEXRON(R)-IIE.
