Dex VI is going to be the new oil that we are going to be seeing more of here shortly. It is just fine to use if you can not find the III.

Dex VI user here..............better heat #s than III, Dexron-VI delivers ~two times the service life of Dexron-III H fluids

Buy it in the 1 gallon jug and pump away

DEXRONŽ-VI ATF
General Motors Powertrain has recently upgraded to DEXRONŽ-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle production.
Only 2005 and prior models that currently use DEXRONŽ-III may use DEXRONŽ-VI as a replacement.
All 2006 and future models that use DEXRONŽ-VI are to be serviced with DEXRONŽ-VI fluid only.
DEXRONŽ-VI is an improvement over DEXRONŽ-III in the following area:
DEXRONŽ-VI
Extended Factory Fill For Life 160,000 km (100,000 mi) For Cars and Light Duty Trucks*
80,000 km (50,000 mi) (Severe Use) For Cars and Light Duty Trucks*
Clutch Friction Stability Improved 100%
Clutch Durability Due To Fluid Improved 120%
Oil Film Thickness Increased 20%
Fluid Oxidation Improved 100%
Foam / Aeration Improved 150%
Shear Stability Improved 200%
* These ATF change intervals remain the same as DEXRONŽ-III for the time being.
2006 Transmission Fill and Cooler Flushing
Some new applications of the 6L80 six speed transmission will require the use of the J 45096 -- Flushing and Flow Tester to accomplish transmission fluid fill. It is highly recommended that the clean oil reservoir of the machine be purged of DEXRONŽ-III and filled with DEXRONŽ-VI.
