Pretty soon DEX6 will be the only fluid you can buy. I don't even think the dexron guys make anything but dex6 anymore, all the stuff on the shelf is old stock. the new 6L80 requires DEX6.

I've had Dex VI in for a little over a year now, bout 10k miles. No problems.

Per GM it is to supercede Dex III, and the metric improvements are impressive. I wanted to do a trans flush when I first picked up my car so I went ahead with it.

Did you notice any difference in tranny performance?

Nope. It didn't change a thing from the driver's seat. All behaviors remained the same.

I would like to see someone with a trans temp gauge do a before and after...
