What kind of transmission fluid does a 2004 Isuzu Ascender take?
Valvoline Synthetic Transmission Fluid Dexron VI 1 Quart.
What kind of oil does a Isuzu Ascender take?
Engine Oil SAE 5W-30 is preferred. Capacity: 7 quarts. (with filter)After refill check oil level.
Are gear oil and transmission fluid the same?
The simplest answer to the difference between transmission fluid and gear oil is in the purpose for which they are designed. Transmission fluid is engineered to work with automatic transmissions, whereas gear oil is typically intended to work with manual-type gear boxes.
Is differential oil and transmission oil the same?
Differentials use gear oil/fluid. A manual transmission also uses gear oil but the viscosity may be a bit different. In an automatic transmission, definitely not; the fluid is much thinner and is called ATF – automatic transmission fluid.
Is there a difference between engine oil and transmission oil?
A couple of differences are the following: Motor oil is designed to deal with the products of combustion, whereas automatic transmission fluid (ATF) does not see contaminants from fuel burning. Transmission fluid is also used by your steering system to keep its parts moving smoothly.
Can you use ATF as engine oil?
ATF, however, is not formulated for use in automotive engines and shouldn’t be used to replace a traditional engine-flush or cleaning product for several reasons. First, the detergency, or cleaning power, of ATF is much less than motor oil. Finally, ATF can alter the viscosity of the oil, reducing wear protection.
What would happen if you put transmission fluid in your oil?
The transmission fluid will not be providing exactly what the engine needs in order to be properly lubricated and you could be causing your engine damage by continuing to run it with the tranny fluid in there. As you’ve suggested, there is a real chance of blowing out seals due to having too much fluid in the engine.
Can I put 2 stroke oil in my diesel fuel?
The fuel companies don’t recommend putting 2 Stroke Oil in your diesel… The 2 Stroke Oil manufacturers don’t recommend putting 2 Stroke Oil in your diesel, therefore it is a simple deduction that there is no reason to add 2 Stroke Oil to your diesel!
Will transmission fluid clean diesel injectors?
ATF is not to be used with HEIU injectors, it can trash a motor, ecpecially at 37 to 1 ratio. We used to mix only 1 quart to 100 gallons in the old diesels, and that was plenty. I would use a good safe injector cleaner like Lucas, stanadyne, pwer service etc.
Should I add 2 stroke oil to my diesel?
While, on the surface, it can look like adding 2-stroke oil to diesel might do no real harm or good with the wear tests suggesting it might actually be slightly beneficial, that’s not the case. See, the addition of 2-stroke oil in diesel (ULSD) can increase the risk of injector fouling.
