Be careful using Dex VI. Dex VI is not compatable with the material that is used to manufacture some seals.

All GM Dextron fluids at back compatible. The newer fluids, were developed as an improvement on past fluids, and are more stabile, and maintain their viscosity better, cold to hot. Part of the reason for the new Dex 6 fluid is to have a 100,000 mile service life in cars running normal conditions. Heavy duty driving still needs fluid swaps as recommended in the owners manual.

Mopar ATF+4 also performs very well in race applications. .........holds up very well in high heatand has excelent anti foaming properties.....Even available at Walmart! ....I've been using it for about 5 years in both my stocker,a TH400,without a cooler, and my SG car, which runs in high gear all the way down the track. ......No wear problems,or clutch issues. .....Tom
