A new synthetic Dexron II automatic transmission fluid specification number ESR-M2C163-A2, part number E6AZ-19582-B is now available. This fluid will maintain a more constant viscosity through a wider range of temperatures.

In the event a vehicle will be operated in extremely cold temperatures for an extended period of time, remove all existing fluid from the transmission (using the procedure shown in the applicable 1986 Car or Light Truck Shop Manual) and replace with the new synthetic Dexron II fluid, E6AZ-19582-B. The synthetic fluid is year 'round fluid and will not require replacement for warmer weather.

CAUTION: DO NOT use synthetic Dexron II fluid in transmissions designed to use Type "F" fluid.
