some of the older units such as the one you listed used to use the old ford DM grade (red) fluid, but since then Dextron III has replaced that and is compatible with most transmissions that use Dextron fluid now.

OB1,

I do not have a manual on the lift but due to the age, if the current fluid is red you can be sure it is Dexron III. Yale switched all lifts to tractor oil after 2000.

Need to confirm, cause I just don't want to assume it's Dexron III.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
