JDCrow Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Good morn, In the middle of the TRW swap and I swear I read in the manual 10/40 for fluid but also see in manual Dextron 3 from factory. I cannot find the fluid chart now that said 10/40. Feel like I’m more crazy now! Any advice/knowledge would be helpful. Waiting on Torque multiplier to come in tomorrow to get started. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 My hydraulic reservoir has Dexron as it is red in color. Came that way from the factory. A few years ago when I had the Sheppard Steering box changed out for the TRW by Josam's in Orlando I had them change the three filters inside the reservoir and new fluid.

Romeo84 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Legit had this issue with my hydraulic Fluid... reservoir tank said aw46 manual said DeX 3. All the responses and opinions I got said just match fluid color. AW46 is a clear light Brown..10w 40 oil would be dark Brown. Dex 3 is red light pink.

Gary 05 AMB DST Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 My 05 Ambassador owners manual calls it hydraulic fluid and uses 15w-40 motor oil. Gary 05 AMB DST 05 was the year that the Ambassador was moved to the 8 air bag platform like the Endeavor's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary 05 AMB DST Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There is a filter in the fluid container that might need replacement. My 05 uses WIX 51487 or NAPA 1487. I'm starting to see a pattern in the part numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
