Mad Cat 0 #1 Posted September 1, 2019 I recently picked up a 1968 Charger 12 and want to change the transmission fluid. The previous owner told me to use Type A transmission fluid, but I can’t find that in my local auto store. What is an equivalent replacement fluid? Thanks for your help.

Dexron Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is probably the most common oil found on the parts shelves today. It used to be called Type A transmission oil but as improvements were made to the oil, the name was changed to Dexron. So which one should you use? The answer is easy. Dexron III or Dexron VI can be used wherever Dexron oils were specified. Edited September 6, 2019 by D_Ram TMI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
