If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

But I notice now that is synthetic, and the one I have in the tranny is not. I can mix them? Or better use another ATF?

I understand that, but the Castrol ATF+4 now is fully synthetic. I need only change the oil no overhaul the transmission. So I need something that mix with the oil inside.

Don't mix it!!!!

Even at a good price. I thought you were changing the TF. Get Dexron III be done.

Although I'm running synthetic I would never mix. My tranny was completely rebuilt & started its new life on synthetic. Between the Magnefine filter & the synthetic I expect a long life out of it.

I can mix Dexron III with ATF? If so it is good, because Dexron III it's cheaper...

I have a 727 tranny, and on the manual it say only Dexron II or ATF, ATF Plus, Type 7176...

Yes D3 and ATF together will be fine.
I am using Valvoline ATF+ in my Cummins/A518 to help dissapate heat generated by pulling the boat.

I toped mine off with a gallon on Valvoline dex/merc when I did my filter and deep pan. No issues.
