	PAS Oil is the red coloured dextron stuff, basicaly a good quality AFT fluid will do. According to the TIS system the box oil should be SAE 80 graded & NOT sythetic & the diff oil is a 75/90w type oil. Doesn't go into to too much detail, phone your local stealer & buy it from them Will be slightly dearer but least you'll know its the right stuff.
