Dexron 3/4 = fine

Mitsu SP3 or Castrol stuff = Big no no (apparently.....ive used it before with no issues though.)

Finally somebody that can spell 'Dexron'. lol

Yeh mixing in some of the sp3/type m/mhp fluid, with the existing dexron as a top-up, wont do any harm, but i wouldnt try use it on its own as a complete refill.
