Yeah, I had a '90 F250HD 7.3L diesel 4X4 Super Cab and an E4OD. I never added any fluid, I just had the trans rebuilt after 50K miles
Really wish ppl would stop bringing me trucks with hydraulic fluid in trans

Without reading ALL the replies, it's a no brainer with me; I tell the customer I understand the frustration but there are a lot of ill-informed mechanics selling their services. I am not a warranty shop for other shops mistakes. If you want the problem repaired correctly, your at the right place, and this is the cost; if not, go back to the last shop that charged you to not fix the problem. As for hydraulic fluid. I don't understand how anyone could rationalize using hydraulic fluid in their transmission. Hydraulic fluid is designed only for lubricity and stability under extreme pressures. Transmission fluid has to balance lubricity with the traction dynamic of pressure plates as well as viscosity designed for a complex valve body.

Yes, I've heard that too. Quite a long time ago, and I'm not exactly sure where. I've considered putting Type F in my Buick TH400 since it slips sometimes. Now that you bring it up, I might actually try it, since I have spare transmission for it now.

...in paper 'cans'.
Which had to be opened with a can opener 'cause if you tried to stab an oil spout into the lid, the sides would collapse.
Used to buy this stuff by the case.
Paper cans.
Can opener.
Oil spout.
You young 'uns confused yet?

I still have the smaller extended flex spout especially for tranny's,guess I can still use it for chicken broth cans.
You mean something like this? I keep it hanging on the back porch - in case of emergency

I noticed most "kids" try to use the pointed end, to open a beer bottle, instead of the handle end
Back in the '70s I worked at a Mobil station where we had 1 gallon cardboard "cans". The pour spout was messy because of the curvature - we used the church key one, poked 3 holes on 1 side, then a breather hole on the other side, poured its contents into a one gallon jug with a flexible pour spout. Then we got their oil in 30 gallon cans and a crank pump - so much easier

I was too young to use for oil, but I remember poking holes in the Hershey's syrup can with it so I could make my choccy milk and get my cartoons on.
How bout’ them Canadians with their bags of milk?
