I need to add a little fluid to my tranny, the manual says to use Dexron IIE. All I could find at Autozone that resembled that was Dexron III by Aamco. Can I use Dexron III? If not, where can I find Dexron IIE.

Yes, you can use Dextron III in place of Dextron IIE. I just finished working on my car today. I dropped the tranny oil pan and changed the fluid and filter assembly. I used Quaker State Dextron III @ $1.59 per quart. It took just a tick under five quarts.

Just did the same thing to my blazer. I used about 5 quarts as well. The dipstick says Dexron IIE, but Dexron III is backwards compatible with it.

BTW.. that was a COMPLETE mess ..
