Not ALL systems use what you mention. Some use a different hydraulic oil including mine. Besides, there is no such thing as "Dextron"; it is Dexron.
The Dexron fluid can be used but it will discolor anything it touches red. That is why some systems, including mine,use a colorless hydraulic fluid. Probably the same composition but who knows
SO, what Year/Brand/Model RV do you have and what Oil does it use????? I have 41 years as an RV Tech and have NEVER seen a Slide or HYD Jack system use anything but Dexron 3 or HWH clear fluid that IS Dexron 3 without the Dye. Doug
