from RAVE workshop manual, fluids & capacities:
Automatic Gearbox:
Automatic gearbox fill from dry 19.7 pt (so at almost 10 quarts capacity, including torque converter, you have diluted what fluid was in there)
Automatic Gearbox:
Use Texamatic 9226, ATF Dexron 11D or Dexron 111 for refill and topping-up (so should have used Dexron 3 or compatible fluid).
If "wrong fluid" was used, DIY removal is drain, refill, run engine and go thru gears, drive around the block, repeat two more times, to get out quantity in toque converter.
May want to research what fluid you put in to see if it is considered "compatible".

I recently changed a couple of the tranny cooler hoses.
To refill, I put a leftover bottle of amsoil ATF and then 1 bottle of mobil1 ATF in. Both said they were dextron III compatible.
I dont know if what was currently in there was synthetic, just figured I would put in the best stuff. Was this a bad idea?

100k on tranny 0k on motor.
Just spoke with jiffylube they said they cant do it because there system requires a tranny dipstick? I asked for a full synthetic tranny flush.
So that was an easy fail for a lube shop.
So if i do what buzz said fill drain fill drain etc..
Can i do this with the mobil 1 synthetic?
Buy 10 quarts 100 bucks plus tax and a few forearm burns from mufflers?
Also where is the filter buzz? Drop the pan? Nessesary to change?
Thanks

Even after switching back to standard trans fluid the damage was done.
The Jiffy Lube trans fluid "flush" is a complete joke, here is what they do, they remove your dipstick and stick 2 small pipes in, one sucks out the fluid the other pumps in fluid.
You start your engine, shift into neutral, the machine sucks for a min, then puts new fluid in, then sucks out fluid, then puts new fluid in, and so on until they feel the job is done.
Basically all they are doing is diluting the old fluid with new until it is all looking new.
If you want to get the most old fluid out of your trans first change the filter, then go have a trans fluid flush done by a real shop.
Just changing the filter will change about the same amount of fluid as the Jiffy Lube method but you will have a new filter.
