Dirk,

I use Dexron/mercon III in both transmission and ps. I do recall  
reading here that type F is recommended for the transmission, but  
need reminding if it was preferred for the BW35 only?. By the way, I  
read this article online recently re: Dexron/Mercon: http:// 
www.imakenews.com/lng/e_article000564317.cfm?x=b11,0,w    I wonder if  
anyone knows whether the new MerconV will be compatible?

Peter
