types of fluids
Hereâs a list of the different types of fluids, and the basic differences between them: 1  Type F â Yes, itâs still around, as a quick walk through at your local parts store will attest. The only thing is, almost nothing uses it anymore. 2  Dexron III/Mercon â This is one of the most common fluids on the market.
The different types of fluids are: 1. 2. 3. 5. 1. Ideal Fluid: A fluid which can not be compressed and have no viscosity falls in the category of ideal fluid. Ideal fluid is not found in actual practice but it is an imaginary fluid because all the fluid that exist in the environment have some viscosity.
A few years back, there were only two types of fluid on the market: Type A and Type F. Conventional wisdom said that Type F was for Fords and Type A was for everything else. Conventional wisdom wasnât all that accurate even back then, and today itâs completely out the window.
