Tranny Fluid

Its time to change the tranny fluid in the Sunsetter. The book calls for "Pennzoil Type A Dexron II, III, or Dexron/Mercon" I have been to 4 different auto parts stores and none of them have Pennzooil ATF so I picked up Castrol Dexron III/Mercon. Is this the right stuff? Also, how much should I expect to get out using an electric oil pump? The book says the tranny holds 2.12 Quarts but I doubt that I will be able to suck that amount out.

That is the right stuff. I just changed mine this weekend and was able to get 1.8 quarts out of the casing with a pump driven by a drill. Easy maintenance!

I only got 1.25 qts out but it took a bit more than that to get it full. I will get it in the water and see what the level looks like then.
