Auto oil?

Basildon · Sep 3, 2013

Hi I'm having problems with my td5 auto so I am changing the filter and oil but I don't have a handbook so I'm not sure what ATF to use.
Not sure i trust halfrauds to get it right .

Help please I'm a newbie

Dexron 2 or 3 is fine but don't buy cheap stuff,something decent like fuchs.

Fuchs TITAN ATF 3000 Multipurpose Dexron II ATF

Just be so careful doing this service.
go to www.discovery2.co.uk/autobox oil and filter change
read the article closely and read again, even print it off.
curious, why are you changing the oil?
Is it due or a problem.

cheers

www.discovery2.co.uk / Automatic Gearbox Oil and Filter Change is the link that works for me.

As others have said buy decent quality atf - I would suggest getting oil that meets or beats DEXRON IIIH standard, such as Millers Millermatic DM.

Good luck

We use Morris super ATF usually pretty damn good stuff

Hi thanks very much for the help with what oil.
The reason I'm changing the oil is the auto box is playing up, when I put it in drive it can take 90 seconds or so to move . When it does move then the gears are very slow to change up I'm hoping that changing the oil will do the trick.

When I bought it the man did tell me this sometimes happens so I knew what I was buying. Just hope to get away without buying another box .

If any one has any other ideas please let me know thanks .

Hi Basildon, before you drive this any further you really need to check the oil level and top-up as necessary.

It really is that critical !!

If You need any help on how to do this, just ask.
