Dexron VI

Your manuals will probably say III, but it was upgraded since that was printed and VI is the best.

I bought 8, will that be enough? Lol
And I'm also going to replace dexcool with green coolant
How many gallons do I get? And do I get 50/50? :p

I honestly wouldn't bother swapping out the dexcool. You'll REALLY have to make sure you get every bit out because if anything is left behind it will sludge. Just do a good flush, cleaning and refill with dexcool. Dexcool is fine if you take care of it.
