  Subject: [Chrysler300] Hydraulic Fluid - Power Top


    I know it has been discussed here before, but i'm afraid i didn't pay enough attention.

  My power top motor says to use "Type A transmission fluid". I've drained some fluid while working on it and it does not have transmission fluid in it now.(It has clear fluid - possibly power steering fluid) The only transmission fluid available here besides Type F is DEXRON III . The Dexron however does not say it meets the "suffix A" requirement.

  Will the Dexron III work or is it an overengineered fluid that will cause more harm than good? 

  I used to use power steering fluid in my cars that didn't have a tag to use tranny fluid - it always worked fine.

  I believe there was a concensus after the last listserver discussion but can't recall it.

  THANKS

  Jeff Miklas
