Type F was Ford's replacement for Type A/AQ-ATF, but designed with their own transmissions in mind. GM kept using Type AQ-ATF well into the 1960s, then replaced it with Dexron. Now, I'm no engineeer, but because successive formulations of Dexron no longer contain whale oil as a friction modifier, and I suspect that it may no longer be as good a replacement for Type A as it once was.

Read the Fluid FAQ.

However, I wouldn't use Dexron VI in anything other than where mandated as such by the manfacturer of the transmision. It's a synthetic fluid that's not only expensive, but not needed in earlier transmissions. Why waste your money on it?


I know...I've read it and others as well and It's like every other subject that one might seek an opinion on BH...you ask three different people and most of the time you get three different answers. Pete Fitch of Ultramatic Dynamics suggested the Dexron VI stating that it's backwards compatible with just about everything...I personally don't like synthetic fluids of any kind but again, that's my opinion and perhaps I'm just too "Old School" to change or just too old period but I'm more in Favor of the Type 'F" than any of the Dexrons or DexMerc's or Mercon or any combination thereof.
