Automotive or Automatic? Does the Fluid Really Care?

Posted by RV Doctor
In the Keystone manual for my Montana, it states Type A automotive transmission fluid is to be used to fill the reservoir for the hydraulic pump for the slideout system. In my searches for this product, I can only find Type A automatic transmission fluid. Is this the same thing? Perhaps it is merely just the wording on the product labeling; (automotive vs. automatic). Thank you! Loretta G., (Floral City, FL)

Yep....same stuff Loretta. Marketing hype variation is all it appears to be. You’re good to go!

(Wow! I think that's a record for the shortest response ever from me!)
