Fuild for AW70L? 700 1991

I've lost my owners manual and need to find out what type of Automatic Transmission Fluid to use in my 1991 745 (non-turbo). Is it Dexron IID?

What synthetic options might I consider?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

James

Any Dexron (the current standard is III) is specified. Synthetic is better: try Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF or Castrol Syntec ATF.

I am using Dexron at present but do I have to flush it out completely to change over to synthetic. I doubt whether I could get all the dexron 111 out so, will dexron and synthetic work together effectively.

yes, but you lose some of the benefit of the synthetic as a result. what's been suggested by many is to buy a bunch of cheap regular dexon III ATF, and flush your system with that first. drive it around for a few dozen miles (maybe even 100 miles... not sure) and then do another flush with the synthetic this time. thus your crudded up old ATF won't 'contaminate' the new (and very expensive) synthetic ATF.
