Can I use ATF MD 3 instead of ATF 4?
ATF+4 is backward compatible with ATF+3 so you can use it with no issues. The factory recommendation for your 1996 van is to have the fluid serviced every 30,000 miles; 100,000 is way-WAY too long.2014-03-01
Is ATF and ATF 4 transmission fluid the same?
ATF +4 is a synthetic fluid for finely-tuned transmissions, so if you use a non-synthetic ATF instead of ATF +4 in a car or truck that calls for it, you could damage the transmission. You may use ATF +4 in most applications that call for older Dexron and Mercon fluids.2015-08-12
