I'm confused! (Again) I have a '99 NA V70 with the 4 speed auto trans with the D-3 selector. I lost my manual (It's around here somewhere.) but have an on line version. As follows, the on-line manual recommends Dexron III or Mercon for the trans and ATF for the power steering. This tells me I can get a good quality Dex III and top off or flush and fill both.

Manual
Automatic transmission fluid: ATF Dexron IIE/ III and Mercon
Power steering fluid: ATF

Yet I've seen posts here that say this incorrect. I've read that 3309 is the best for 4 or 5 speed auto, and synthetic fluid is necessary for the other. But they are not interchangeable. There's something about the friction and impact force or some such gibberish. So which is the correct fluid for my '99 4 speed auto?

And do I use the same in my power steering pump or do I get a good synthetic PS fluid.

Thanks.
