interesting trivia
In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, ATF contained whale oil as a friction
modifier. But since whale oil would break down at higher temperatures, cars produced in the 1970s and later would not be able to use whale oil because of the higher engine coolant temperatures employed to reduce emissions and save fuel. A moratorium on whale oil at that time prevented the continued production of older ATF such as the original DEXRON formulation (Type B), and the Type A which preceded it. General Motors began marketing Dexron II Type C and later Dexron II Type D to replace the fluids which were made from whale oil.[9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automat...smission_fluid "Rob" > wrote in message news  > correct > > > "Frank S" > wrote in message > ... >> >> That'c be, Uh, Cee. >> >> "Rob" > wrote in message ... >>> Automatic transmission fluid contained _______ until the 1970s? >>> >>> A.
