If I bought 2 of these, that would be plenty and the right stuff to use when I get round to doing the ATF oil change in a couple of weeks wouldn't it?

This is for manual gearboxes not auto transmission, can you get a refund?

Most confusing.

It's called ATF D111 - which is what you would expect to use in a Bongo transmission. But, the blurb says "multi-purpose automotive gear lubricant for drive line components, particularly manual synchromesh transmissions, For use all year round. Can be mixed with most other oils."

If you put ATF in a manual gearbox, I doubt it would last long.

Alacrity to the forum!

The logo on the tub looks like an auto to me.

This is in fact Q8 (Automatic 15 )Transmission Fluid to Dexron 111 spec.

But It is a bit confusing when you read the advert.

If in doubt contact the supplier. :)

When I pop in next weekend, I'll check the blurb on the bottle. Actually, I might ring tomorrow to make sure they've got some.

Let's say the wording is off but pic is correct, then I'm safe to go ahead one presumes?

2 of those would be fine.
a lot of the modern manual/semi auto boxes require thiner oils than the old days.
