I went to buy some ATF at the dealer. I specifically asked for ATF for my power steering. So the guy went to the back and brought out CHF. I didn't really understand which part of ATF that he couldn't understand. So I told him that wasn't it and I wanted ATF. So he tried again and brought out ATF D2. I asked him what D2 stood for. But, he didn't know. The experience left me a bit unsure if he gave me the right thing or not.
When I got home, I checked that ATF D2 (81 22 9 400 272) was definitely the right oil. There was no marking of Dexron 3 on the carton, unlike a previous BMW ATF carton I used. So my question is: what is the difference between ATF D2 and ATF Dexron 3 ?
I have a 3/4 litre of Dexron 3 in my PS system. Is that the wrong oil to use ? On cold starts the PS pump cavitates very briefly. But the reservoir level looks OK. So I am thinking maybe the Dexron 3 is causing the problem because it's the wrong oil ?
