Dexron III fluid vs. Dexron II-one in the same?

Question

My car requires Dexron II fluid, but I’ve noticed that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. Instead, I see a lot of Dexron III available in stores. Occasionally, I come across jugs labeled as Dexron II/III fluid. Is Dexron III a newer equivalent to Dexron II? Recently, my car’s transmission was slightly low on fluid, so I added Dexron III, even though the manual specifies Dexron II. Is this a suitable choice?

chevy dipsticks are notorious for getting rusty, it has nothing to do with your transmission. It could be two things causing your problem, the pan could be leaking and or the transmission fluid could be going through the vaccumm modulator ( i have acutally seen this happen) though it is rare. With your truck being 21 years old it is probably not a good idea changing your filter unless you want to do it twice (after 1000 miles)the tarnish could plug up your new filter. GOOD LUCK

Yes you can use dexron III in transmissions that calls for dextron II,  but you cant do it the other way around. Cant use dexron II in transmissions that calls for dexron III 
Thats why your finding it harder to get dexron II. It’s being phased out as it’s no longer needed

A Nissan Master Mechanic was looking over my car and heard a ping coming from the engine, when he did my oil change on my Titan he added a quart of Dexron11 with the oil. To my surprise the ping stop, is this the right thing to do?
