Any info for this? Looks like looks like 6-10-1993 was when it was made.

Dex II is old, most guys use the Dex III but I think the Dex 6 is the way to go. It handles heat better and has great lubricating characteristics for bushings and thrust washers. Many opinions on this and all work but some work better

Dextron 6 is the way to go.

I was figuring the older the better. Like oil older oil is better because of zinc in it.
plus there are 10 55 free gallons of it

No this is not an older is better situation. I personally probably wouldn't use it. It's probably fine but doesn't meet specs for current t vehicles.

It makes a good hydraulic fluid for things like lifts, etc. Try selling it to a lift service etc?

ATF also burns very nicely in a waste oil heater. Even seems to clean the nozzle, preheaters etc.

I've also had decent luck mixing used ATF with #2 heating oil up to around 20% without issues.

Richard Clark may be interested if it's cheap enough. He has a waste oil heater for the dyno shop. He has a truck to pick it up as well. Let me know what you want for it and I will pass it along.
