Yes, it would have been nice if I didn't need correcting but I understand that we all need to be corrected at times. I also understand the needs of some to satisfy their our personalities.

Thanks again.

Cold man, real cold, and snowy

In 89 the ID tag said to use 20W20 oil in the transmission and they had a little sticker that went over those words that said to use Dex when the recommendation changed.

Or was it Dex then 20w20 then back to Dex again so there were multiple decals

90 and later..............beats me, but the tags changed early on and didn't need the little sticker any longer

Dex 3 didn't exist before 1993 either so that'll help narrow things down depending on what your tag says   


Edit ..............A little search found tags with 4 different recommendations at various different times so the tag probably won't exactly be helpful to figure out your year.
