Dead certain, it will promptly flip onto its roof and catch fire. Also, cute kittens will die horrible deaths. That’s what happens when you use the wrong ATF.

Loaded up with four bottles from my local supercheap today. That should see me clear until I can sort out a manual conversion for the "old" 'mont... And then I can probably sell any remaining bottles for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Not happy about the price to play this silly game though, last time I bought a bottle I swear it was sub $50 and not even on special.

Cheers, Tony

LV ATF is a different range of fluids; Penrite, Nulon, Hitec all offer such - it’s used in place of stuff like Lifeguard 6. Irrespective of the price, I wouldn’t put such in a BTR box from EA through FG.

Seen a question regarding what oil to use in the btr now that tq is gone on a rvo transmission facebook post. They said to use dexron 3 with a lube guard product called shudder guard, depending on what clutches are used in the transmission they can make a squark noise shifting into 3rd without it.

Interesting thread
So the difference over Dex 3 is that additives to protect planet carriers from wear,
this would seem to be what happened when GM went from DEX 3 to DEX 6 and
the equivalent Mercon LV which is rated for Ford 6R80 (ZF box) as well as 10R80.

It is possible that BTR went to a new trans fluid standard years ahead of what was
normally in use but now is probably covered by the later GM/Ford universal oil?
