I have a Question on my Trasmission leak i have experienced out of my 98 Dodge Dakota, V-6. I have found that the seal on the transmisson is leaking a bit and i plan to change the seal this weekend... but i was wanting to know if i should use the Mopar 7176 ATF Plus 3 fluid or can i go with the Synthetic from Mobil One. The trans. fluid that is leaking is just as red as can be(a good sing) and i was wondering if i could change the entire trans fluid to Mobil One. I know when i change the fluid, the Haynes Repair Manual i have said there would be about 4 qt. of trans fluid comming out on a drain and refill, is there any way i can get the rest of the 6 qt.or so out?
Thanx in advance yall..

yes you can replace with synthetic. I reccomend dodges ATF +4 which is a synthetic and designed specifically to work with the older dodge fluids.

one method some people have used to get more of old fluid out is to disconnect a cooler line, place the line in an empty container and run the truck to drain a quart, add a quart, start the truck and drain another quart, add, repeat... till you've gotten most of the fluid cycled out.
