Will Dexron 6 work on the power steering for 1987 300zx

Posted April 16, 20168 yr

I have an 87 300zx. I know that you need Dexron atf for the power steering. My dad has some factory Dex 6 left over. I'm wondering if that would work for the pump without screwing it up.

Sorry about that, I was on my phone and it didn't show Calgary.

From bobistheoilguy.com " Correct. Dex-VI is a semi-synthetic blend.
When I changed T fluid in my 05, I went with Mobil-1 synthetic T fluid. Pan drop w/filter change.
Work fine.
Supposedly, the Dex-6 is backward compatible with Dex 3; meaning that you can add/mix the 6 with 3 but it's not recommended to add 3 to a transmission that has 6 in it.
Is that as confusing as it sounds? "
