Got Toyota Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I was wanting to know if anyone has put Dexron lll-h in their transmission and was there any problems? I did a fluid change (about 2 qts) and running really good but fluid is still dark and I'm planning on doing a couple more fluid changes. It's an 87 Odyssey automatic, 22 re with 36,000 original miles. I'm thinking that the people I got it from ran it with the od on the whole time. I did pull the pan and things looked very clean besides the brownish fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAatTheCape Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 if you do a google search on "is dexron iii compatible with dexron ii" you will find LOTS of stuff to read..... THe short answer is yes (I think??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use "Valvoline MAX Life" full synthetic recommended for most GM, Ford, Toyota and Honda models. Drain and fill takes "3 Quarts plus 8 ounces" so a 1 gallon jug does it. I buy it at Walmart for under $20. At my local Wal-mart dex is 3.99/quart. For 4.49/quart I buy Valvoline Max Life full synthetic transmission fluid which is specifically listed for dex-ii, dex-iii and dex-vi as well as mercon and others.

Everything says that now a days d/m is pretty much interchangeable so I'm going to run with it and if I blow my tranny I'll make sure to post an update, thanks again for the reply.

The reason I want to run the dexron lllh is I got a great deal on a 5 gallon bucket for 20$ and it was very hard to pass up when it goes for around 85$ .
