I use Fuchs 4400 , but you could also use penrite ATF/ fs, both are miscible with standard dex3 as you'll only get around 5 litres of the 9.5 litres total out with a standard oil / filter change.
Time for Auto trans oil & filter, spec is dextron 3, just wondering if there are any preferences or if there is a synthetic for this,
cheers

I use Castrol transmax Z in my D2 and also used it in my RRC 91. My RRC auto was excellent at 240KK and my D2 is excellent at 190KK..
Transmax Z is approved by ZF and recommended for use in heavy duty applications.
It is expensive at $95 approx. for 4 litres, but hey a lot cheaper than a rebuild.
I wouldn't bother if the car has been neglected over a high mileage as autos are dying from the day they first turn.

Supercheap no longer stock it but Repco does and you can sometimes get it 30% off.
Thanks Fellas,
i had some Dex 3 sitting around so I've dropped the pan and also changed the filter, I will change the fluid once more with the Dex 3 to hopefull flush it and later change to one of the recommends fluids.
pain in the but doing in on the ground, thank god for the lift kit

Nulon synthetic auto transmission fluid is also worth a look.
I use the Penrite ATF FS in mine and it seems fine

I was told by the castrol rep in Bendigo that ZF doesn't recommend synthetic as it can strip the glue that holds the bands on - it certainly seems a credible source.
I've always used their ATF dex3.
Well the rep was wrong.I was told by the castrol rep in Bendigo that ZF doesn't recommend synthetic as it can strip the glue that holds the bands on - it certainly seems a credible source.
Have a look at the ZF approved fluids list published by ZF and you will see Castrol Transmax Z which is a synthetic.

ATF for ZF automatic transmissions
or from ZF themselves

That's interesting ... Nulon only list full syn for ZF ZF - Nulon Products Australia
It may be the ZF 6, 8 and 9 speed Automatic Transmissions ... which have the problem
I have emailed Penrite for their suggestions
