yes to the top to flush, this will dilute the 20 wt that much easier, maybe 8 qts?

Straight 20w oil is the original fluid specified for the early 1.23's. Its ok to convert to ATF... stick with conventional Dex/Merc or Dex III (do NOT use synthetic). It will take a few flushes to get it completely swapped out, but no worries- the fluids are compatible according to Eric. Judging by the condition of my '90's tranny when I disassembled it (1200 hrs) Id say it was ok to keep running the 20w if you want... if you can find some!

My 90 was also oil, not trans fluid. I was always told use what it came with.
I believe a couple people have converted, though. I am not sure of the process to do so. |

I have a 1990 nautique w/pcm trans. The fluid is not red, and the id tag says sae 20-20 w engine oil grade sf/cd. Is this the proper oil/fluid to use? Also this is my first nautique.
