Type F???
Just bought a 1974 240D for 300 bucks with good engine (70,000 miles) and pretty nice exterior. Problem is...no owners manual came with. There was a Haynes manual in the trunk that said Type F Fluid went in the auto trans. So I had my mechanic service the tranny and put in Type F. I have since read in these forums that Dexron III is correct for this trans. Have I screwed up royally? Should I have the trans drained and refilled with Dexron?
Help!! Thanks

almost new tranny
Drain the pan,drain the torque converter,replace the transmission filter,REFILL with MOBIL1 A.T.F.---!!!
You will not like the price, but 250.000 miles from now you'll love it. Follow the recommended drain and filter replacement intervals.

DexronIII was never specified for these cars as it wasn't even around when they were made. It won't hurt running it though.
