Dexron is trans fluid. You want to use any off the green ones. Make sure it is not Dex cool you do not want to mix that with any other ones.

well I got the jeep last summer, and supposedly the guy that I got it from said he had just replaced the radiator shortly before i got it.....so a coolant flush would fix the problem? If it would, i should just stick with the normal green coolant, and not the dex-cool?
