Proper Oil Weight for 1990 Dodge Dakota
I have a 1990 Dodge Dakota 5 sp manual transmission. I am having to now keep my eye on level of Tranny Fluid due to leaking. I am confused as to what is proper weight of oil. I have been told both 75-90 weight and as of yesterday at Jiffy Lube they said, 10w-30! I do not have any manual.
