Total Fluide T for C Max auto transmission

Unread post by citroencxsteve64 »

Trying to get hold of some to change fluid in C matic for Citroen Cx 2.5 GTi 1987. The nearest I can see is around 3 and a half hours away and no-one seems to send it by courier. I'm in Warrington, does anyone have any suggestions where I can get some closer to home or an alternative to it??

Thanks guys.

I would contact Opie Oils and see if they can help: :)

So cheap you could corner the market. Having looked at a few of the "leading" classic parts suppliers for old Citroens and their prices (WoW ! LOL) maybe you should ....

Please check that you're searching for the correct fluid! The CX 25 GTi never used Fluide T. Only the 1977-1980 CX 2400 and 2200 cars with C-Matic semi automatic transmission used this stuff. If you have a mid 80s CX auto then it will be standard ATF dexron fluid.

Dexron = ALWAYS use the recommended type, never believe the "Is compatible with" line often stated on later types.
