Message:
I have a 2002 5.9 and might have made a mistake. My ATF was a little low and I topped it off(3/4 quart) with ATF +3 before I realized I needed to use ATF +4 exclusively. My question, will just this small amount cause harm and should I get it flushed or will this small amount be ok until next service (10,000 more miles)?

Joe I am sure you will be allright.When atf 4 came out we the techs were told that we could use atf 4 when topping off atf3 but not vice virsa.If you just used a little I say you are safe just don't do it again.The atf 4 we use now is a better formula than old.It is used now in power steering systems and when servicing an older system you should flush the system and use the atf4 from there on.If it would make you feel better just drop the pan,drain whats in the pan,and refill with about 5qts of atf4
