So whats everyone using for Dex VI fluid? I noticed the trans in the Pace Car has a slight chatter and going to do a trans service on it

 

I use the Redline D6 transmission fluid, Top Dog fluid for sure.

It's a synthetic fluid versus most others being petroleum based. Kind of spendy to some people, But I think a tranny needs all the help it can get.

Link below for RedLine D6:

Red Line Synthetic Oil - Automatic Transmission Fluids - D6 ATF

 

I'm running ACDelco Dex6

GM ACDelco - Dexron VI Transmission Fluid #GM-88861954

 

I'm running autozone dex in mines I believe its 4 or 6 tho. Its been a while

 

Thanks for the repys Guys. I went to the Local Auto Zone,and got there filter kit, and Castrol TRANSMAX™ DEXRON®VI ATF. Took it to the shop and had it serviced ($45.00 in labor)

The guys said it looks like it needs mounts (didnt say which ones) but showed me that when placing the car in drive, and from drive to reverse the engine moves ALOT. They said the "Shudder" I am feeling may be vibration due to bad mounts?

Should I just go and replace them all. I did noticed when they where showing me the movement the upper torque strut mounts (mounted to rad support) had a exteme amount of flex.

And which mounts do you recommend I get.

Thanks

 

I use the Delco #19264717 DEX VI (1L) or #19264718 (5L)

Maybe my part # are different than Chibi's cuz its Canadian. Everyone knows there's a difference between Imperial Dex6 and Metric Dex6

 

Using VI in a vehicle designed for V will not reap you any benefit. Although the base oils are slightly different, they both have the same final viscosity. Further research will uncover the fact that Redline ATF is the same formula and provides no benefit over using Valvoline, Quaker State, Pennzoil or any other major brand on the market.

 

I have been running nothing but Valvoline Dexron VI Full Synthetic in mine since new. Even had the trans shop fill the new tranny with this fluid.

 

Some newer vehicles do require VI, but that is because the base oils are different to compensate for the material used for the clutch plates. This will have no effect on a transmission that was rated to use V, IV, III, etc.

 

Any suggestions on mounts? Thinking of just going ahead and changing them all out..
