Found these; MPM ATF Dexron III F/G 4Ltr for £39.59 on Eurocarparts (after discount) https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/mpm-a...4ltr-522778361 -- or --
MANNOL MN8206-4 DEXRON III AUTOMATIC Plus, 4 Litre for £18.99 on Amazon
or this from Westway Lubricants -ATF Dexron 3 Automatic Transmission Fluid 5 Litres 5L for £20.99,
Whats the difference ? are they all really much the same ? I assume its the Dexron III thars the main thing

There is also Carlube ATF-U which is fully synthetic, for early auto transmissions.

23 y/o V70R is on the cusp. Didn't it all change 97/98?
While you're on, see to that keyboard.

Not 100% sure, but I think dexron111 f/g is the wrong stuff...
This is what I used to replace mine -

What with a keyboard that doesn't 'work' Google, will the gearbox get lucky?
