I went with mobil1 syn and the shifting went to crap immediately. Switched to Walmart Supertech Dexron III and it's never missed a beat in over a year.

I started to look for Dex III all over the place and couldnt find any.. and the people working at auto part stores didn't know anything either... So eventually I found out what is okay to use..

Dex/Merc Trans fluid is now the equivalent of Dex III.. Dex VI is probably not a good choice as an alternative..
