Wheel A Matic Fluid

[702854boy 1,086]

Is type F ATF safe to use in an 875 since type A is pretty much obsolete anymore?

[adsm08 4,988]

Type A, Type F, and the generic Dex/Merc are all pretty interchangeable these days.

Fill it with Dex/Merc and run it!

What is the proper length for the lipstick on these? Mine is 7 inches and the fluid is just barely on the stick after putting 4 quarts of atf in

I'm not very experienced with cosmetics, but I believe the average lipstick is around 2.5 to 3 inches in length.

I get it. Last night I was discussing a pop noise that my new car radio makes when you turn the key on, with my sister, and she thought it might be the amp getting an inrush spike. I said I only had three wires hooked to it from the head unit, and my phone changed "three wires hooked" to "three wife's holes".

not sure about dipstick length but  fill it so there is an inch or so left under the top of the tranny housing.  for expansion...

So I need to add more fluid even though the manual said 4 quarts?

Clean ATF is hard to see on the stick. I think @Achto paints his sticks white. 

 

I usually take a Q tip and starting above the full mark, dab the stick until I see fluid on the tip

I had laid the stick on its side one a clean paper towel and nothing was on the rag
