I have purchased a 2004 winnebago adventurer w allison 1000. The books have paper advertisement refering to trans synd fluids. The rv has 33,000 miles, 1 owner before me. Bought from a dealer. How do I tell if has dexron3 or trans synd. Work horse says use dex 3. Would a test kit for fluids work or is dex 3 in the 2004s.?
My former 04 coach on Workhorse with Allison came with Dexron. That was specified by the coach mfg, Fleetwood. I waited until my 50k for change to have it changed to Tran synd at a truck service place.
If you go to a place that services Allison transmissions they will know what you have. The extra cost for the synthetic is small enough compared to a new/rebuilt that it surely is worth it. Unless you have a problem you should be able to wait until you turn 50k before dealing with it.
