fluid specifications.
No chemical flushes should be used in any transmission;

any special additives in the transmission.

policy is the use of special dyes for diagnosing fluid

adversely affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as
the chemicals can damage your transmission compo-
