Hi Peter,

Back in the day the only stuff used was red ATF, so that's what I use.

Present day has, I believe, all sorts of variants, but I don't think
we'd benefit by trying any. The only caveat to this is if seals have been swopped
for new-fangled intolerant materials. ( grump-mode on)

The past:
1980 2.0 HPE White in South Africa [hope it survives!]
1976 1.6 Coupe Lancia Blu [PFG 76R] [probably deceased]
oh,and an Uno Turbo 1997 also in SA [stolen,never recovered]

Hi Peter

Probably any Dexron II Standard ATF made by someone you have heard of with a reputation to protect.
