Can you mix ATF with synthetic ATF? ›
Is it OK to mix synthetic ATF with a conventional and/or synthetic blend ATF? Yes. Synthetic ATF and conventional fluids are 100 percent compatible with each other.
Yes, an overfilled transmission can cause it not to shift properly or at all. This is because too much transmission fluid can create excessive pressure inside the transmission, which can cause several problems that affect the transmission's ability to shift gears.
What happens if you put too much ATF fluid? ›
Excessive fluid prohibits proper lubrication and cooling and slows the rotating crankshaft, similar to the effect of running through water. When the air above mixes with the high levels of fluid, it creates a foamy substance that saturates the transmission. This can lead to: Part pitting.
