What transmission fluid is compatible with DEXRON VI?
DEXRON-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, in place of DEXRON-III (for instance, topping off the fluid in the event of a repair or fluid change). DEXRON-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON for use in automatic transmissions.
What does DEXRON VI mean?
Mobil DEXRON-VI ATF is a high performance, synthetic blend formulation that meets or exceeds the stringent requirements of GM’s DEXRON-VI specification and provides warranty protection for 2006 and newer GM vehicles. It also provides improved performance in older GM vehicles, wherever DEXRON is specified.
Is DEXRON VI same as DEXRON II?
Dexron VI replaced Dexron II and III, and can be used in General Motors domestically built or import transmissions that specified Dexron II or Dexron III. Dexron VI is a low viscosity transmission fluid and should also be used with the full synthetic low viscosity transmission fluid.
What viscosity is Dexron VI?
Property
| Property | |
|---|---|
| Brookfield Viscosity @ -40 C, mPa.s, ASTM D2983 | 11500 |
| Color, Visual | Red |
| Flash Point, Cleveland Open Cup, °C, ASTM D92 | 220 (428) |
| Kinematic Viscosity @ 100 C, mm2/s, ASTM D445 | 5.83 |
Is DEXRON II still available?
Dexron, Dexron II, IID, and Dexron IIE—these are the original GM Dexron ATFs and are no longer licensed by the company, having been superseded by Dexron III, which has now itself been superseded by Dexron VI. The difference between Dexron, II, and IIE was mostly in the oxidation inhibitors.
Is Dex Merc the same as dexron VI?
Dex/Merc would be fine. Dexron VI is listed by GM as backward compatible, but is thinner than original Dexron III. I’d use the Dex/Merc myself.
Can you mix transmission fluids?
Each car has its own recommendations from the manufacturer on which transmission fluid your car needs. Some transmission fluids are very incompatible with different transmission types as they use different additives in the fluids.
