Series 3 XJ6 transmission fluid type F

I have heard conflicting information as to what type of transmission fluid is acceptable for use in a 1986 series 3 XJ6. I remember some years ago a Jaguar specialist recommended the use of type F or Dexron… I have a sealed container of type F, would like to ‘top up’ the fluid level in my car, but would like to confirm if it is ok to use. Thanks…

“F” and “FA” are both fine for the old BW66 trans

Dexron (III) works in a pinch, but isn’t right. Too slippery. Type F or G are fine.
