Ok im planning to flush the trans on my 850 (95)....

I believe the correct fluid is Dexron IIe (it has been suggested Dexron III is also ok)....

Because Im finding it difficult to get confirmation on what is actully right I went to the dealer today..and said ok..how much for 12 litres of atf for a 95 850...they recommend (and sell) a mineral ATF and its (wait for it!) £156 for 12 litres (circa $240!)..basically i told him where he could insert the tube on that one! (did get 2 new clamps and o rings, 2 in case i mess one up and on the basis of doing it again is only 30 k aways....)

so....

1) anyone know the score (for sure...) on what fluids are ok (spec wise!)
2) I would like to go synthetic....anyone know EXACTLY which fluids meet this spec
3) anyone got a good source in the UK....
4) anyone got any advice on this other than using the bay 13 method....
