Type "F" still does have friction modifiers,, ALL TRANS FLUIDS as well as ALL MOTOR OILS have different types of friction modifiers,,,, just NOT AS YOU WOULD CALL MODIFIERS... Type "F" fluid has better LUBRICITY and provides SMOOTHER SHIFTS as a result of the ADDED LUBRICITY (a friction modification)... On the other hand,, Dexron/Mercon has a different package that tends to "grab" a little better... AAS FAR AS using ATF in your daily driver,,,, you WILL DESTROY your CATALYTIC CONVERTOR... DO NOT try this at home in your daily driver... Unless your driving a DIESEL!!!unchained said:Since there are friction modifiers, etc and other differences in dex/merc, type f, type h, etc.
So Im learning that type f does not have friction modifiers and is used in my Simplicity sub compact hyd system. So now Im wondering if using Dex/Merc as an engine additive/cleaner, etc with friction modifiers would cause some other problems? Is type f better for use in a combustion engine, chaincase, etc, etc? I love this topic....
