Type F and F-L-M are the same thing. DEXRON III is backwards compatible
with Type F in most applications.

From what I understand, Dexron is almost the same thing a Mercon, the
new Ford standard. Type F is the old Ford standard, and is not
compatible with fluids labelled Dexron/Mercon. That said this applies
to transmissions and the like, for power steering fluid, it really
doesn't matter on the Volvo.

To the original poster - Type F is usually sold as Ford type
transmission fluid.

So auto transmission fluid works just as well?So any trans fluid that
says Dexron III will work?I also was looking at trans fluid today and
I say some that said type F trans fluid.Is this the same thing?

For power steering on your car it doesn't really matter which auto
trans. fluid you use, but since Volvo actually specifies type F (or Ford
type) and you have it available, why not get some and use it?
