What other uses are there for type F transmission fluid other than power steering in my old explorer? I was given a few gallons of type F transmission fluid. It won't work in our Honda or 2019 F-150. Thought there might be other things I could use it for and ideas?
What are other uses for Type F Transmission Fluid
- Thread starter Tygrant
- Start date
it cleans well. i use ot for teleflex cables in my boat. pump some down ther to loosen dried up grease and make steering much easier.
Soneone was looking for some a day or 2 ago.
My Mazda specified Type F for the transaxle.
I've used it to thin #90 gear oil for use on bicycle chains.
I may have also used it in a hydraulic jack.

Mix it with acetone for good penetrating.
Type F smells terrible though. Like cat pee.

Is the following true?
Type F has "more texture" in it as Ford transmissions used bare metal plates instead of fiber-coated waffles. The metal plates would last longer because they wouldn't collide as hard due to said texture.
I was told this.

Type F had NO friction modifiers in it, thats why it is still used today for drag racing and guys wanting firm, solid shifts. Todays autos are for pansies that don't want to feel the shift at all, which results in major slippage every gear change which wears clutches and associated parts faster.
