Transmission fluid - FYI
To read the original thread and discussion on this topic go here- LINK
Quote:
Cheap Aftermarket Dexron III "type" fluids are labeled DEX/MERC, And are NOT approved by any OEM. These fluids do work, BUT they are not tested to any standard, No viscosity or oxidation stability test. You have to trust a "bargain basement" fluid maker for their word. Stay away from Dexron VI ATF, It has caused seal damage/hardening in some transmissions that were made before 2006, GM says its backward compatible, But they are not fixing any seal damage. The ONLY Dexron III fluids to have a OEM licence are TES 295Fluids approved by Allison. TES 295 Approved Automatic Transmission Fluids. Castrol/Allison........................TranSynd BP Lubricants.........................Autran Syn 295 Cognis Corporation..................Emgard 2805 International..........................Fleetrite Synthetic ATF ExxonMobil.............................Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF John Deere & Company.............HD SynTran Volvo Trucks North America.......Bulldog Synthetic ATF Last edited by augie; 05-06-2012 at 10:12 PM. |

It has a special additive package to deal with "clutch to clutch shifting". It is labeled a synthetic.....DEXRON-VI is not synthetic. It is made from a blend of Group II and Group III base oils plus the Dexron VI additives package. It does not contain any PAO (polyalphaolefin) found in group IV base oils. A "true synthetic" uses Group IV base oils. All TES-295 approved fluids use Group IV base oils plus a Dexron III additive package...Making them a Fully Synthetic Dexron III fluid.
