Chevron Dexron Vi Atf

[chrisb1]

I just received feedback from the Chevron Technical Support Team and the Chevron Dexron VI

ATF fluid is a full 100% synthetic ATF fluid. Out here in Oregon, the Fred Meyer Chain sells it

for $4.79 per quart. The Valvoline Dexron VI is going for $6.00 per quart. For all GM transmissions post 2006

requiring Dexron VI.

They wanted the TES-295 level fluid without having to pay Allision for the certification.

The Dex 6 fluid spec is indeed GM but they own the certification specs and do not have to pay Allision.

I have Dexron V1 in my truck and my wife's Buick. It is the best trans fluid I have used so far and I had Mobil 1 in the Buick before going to Dexron V1.
