I have between 2 and 3 gallons of somewhat used ATF4 for free if anyone wants it. I would hate to just toss (recycle) it since it cost me just about $7.00 a quart (4 qts in a gallon…you do the math)
Anyway, I put it into my AW4 to learn that Dextron III was the right stuff for that trans, so out it came. It has ZERO miles on it but is a little darker due to the oil stuff that was in the AW4. It is in a 5 gallon bucket now but have plenty of smaller containers to put it in.
It has many uses… replace the ATF in your T-case, use it to flush out your transmission, take a bath in it…(well some people are weird…ha)
I would suggest to keep it on hand to aid the random blown lines on the trail. I was lucky to have been carrying some Mercon when a ford blow it’s line while wheeling.
Because some fluid is better than no fluid. I used ATF one time to get me home when my steering box sprung a leak ( it was all I had to use) Another time I gave some to AJ when his transferase started leaking from a big hit.
