No problems my friend

Word to the wise and a tip I was passed on many years ago by Elty, always make sure that you can open the refill plug before you go and drain the fluid from either, otherwise you're stuffed if you can't get fluid back in and need the truck in a hurry :thumb2

That's a very helpful tip Banshea.

Thanks again paly

AQF should do perfectly fine although I see Comma recommend AQM.

My preference would be AQ3 though, that's what I use in my Trol and will be backwards compatible with any boxes speccing AQM https://www.amazon.co.uk/Comma-AQ35...p/B003BPNNVE/ref=psdc_303894031_t2_B003BPNNSM

From what I've read online from a few different sources, you only need to pay close attention to stuff like that if you have a Ford or a John Deere :lol

Possibly bro but better to have the right stuff as the wrong kind of ATF can trash the box :nenau

Been a common problem for the Aussies as Japan Dexron ratings are slightly different than the ones in Oz (Trols use the same gearbox just a HD version).

A problem often forgotten with auto transmission is that the new oil needs to be the same as what is in the box, this is because all the old oil cannot be drained,(it is rare for the fluid flywheel to have a drain plug) this means that you will be mixing old and new, if they are different then problems are likely, Rick
