I'm changing the ATF and filter on a Ford ZX-2 with 75K and probably original fluid.
It's shifting OK but I notice a little roughness on the 1 to 2 shift especially when cold.
These F4-EAT tranny's aren't the most durable and I'm wondering if I'd be better using a thicker fluid like Castrol High Mileage (8 Cst @ 100*C) or a thinner fluid like
Maxlife ATF (6.11 Cst @ 100*C). I also have some Pennzoil Multivehicle (silver bottle) which is also 8 Cst @ 100*C I believe.
I plan on using a bottle of LG Red.
What's the consensus on the ATF fluid? I'm I correct thinking that the thicker fluid might work better in these fragile units?
Thoughts?
PS: Can anybody tell me what coolant Ford used in the 2002 ZX-2?....it's probably original and I'll be changing it too...Would Peal Global work?
