Default Paging Audi Junkie: got a tranny fluid question

I went to BITOG and did a search across the web for Coastal Automatic Transmission Fluid D/M specs and test reviews but didnt find anything.
Looking to use that in the automatic vehicles inside the household.
Its a chevy and toyota both asking for Dex 3 certs.<ul><li><a href="http://www.warrenunilube.com/transfluids.html">http://www.warrenunilube.com/transfluids.html</a</li></ul>

Default Hmm, Costal. They had a recall on some products. So many good Dex fluid out there, I'd say skip.

What I do with a trans that has been previously unserviced is do a fill with cheap Dex and then re-do it with better fluid in a short time. If all you need is Dex III, you really can't go wrong with PZ, Castrol (new product line, one is "Import" and the other "Domestic".) I wish I could be more specific, unless you need a huge bulk quantity, skip the Coastal...one of the few brands I would avoid. Let me know if I can help mopre specificly. I know Dex IV is the new spec which covers Dex III too. Multi-Vehicle is generally good base oil. Just ask over at Bob's and someone will help out who knows more. I use a lot of MaxLife. Kinda cool, I see my 1991 100S has an external spin-on filter. I've been changing it with plain Dex and now MaxLife.

Default Warren Unilube probably part of Warren Distributing associated with Quaker State.

But I searched for MSDS also and couldn't find.
