Thank you..Only problem is i put a gallon of the frame dex 6 synthetic on before i saw reply(my friend bought it for me n thats what they had a auto store 38.99 gal) .I want to buy some more fluid today n i know i cant go back from synthetic to reg correct.. ??Dex VI is basically just synthetic Dex III. If you don't know what's in there now, I would just be adding in Valvoline MaxLife ATF. It is compatible with either and meets the Dex VI spec. You can get it much cheaper at Walmart than you can from the auto parts store.
Is max life atf synthetic..? I assuming once u put synthetic u cant go back to teg trans fluid?Dex VI is basically just synthetic Dex III.

You can either stick with Dex6 or flush it out and use regular Dex/Merc which is Dex3 equivalent.Is max life atf synthetic..? I assuming once u put synthetic u cant go back to teg trans fluid?
So dex 6 synthetic wont hurt it..cause it was Rebuilt but has no miles on it cause the guy passed away at 62 after he put it in n worked on truck ...I put 4 in already n he had some kind in too..not much i guess i will stay with it...im working on thos on the ground n im too old to getting into draining it in driveway ..lol..You can either stick with Dex6 or flush it out and use regular Dex/Merc which is Dex3 equivalent.
To be honest, not sure there's any harm to mixing/matching as Dex6 is backwards compatible but perhaps a transmission fluid chemical engineer or SME can confirm or deny for sure (perhaps even an indepth google search will also do same).
1. I have no idea what you mean by "frame".Thank you..Only problem is i put a gallon of the frame dex 6 synthetic on before i saw reply(my friend bought it for me n thats what they had a auto store 38.99 gal) .I want to buy some more fluid today n i know i cant go back from synthetic to reg correct.. ??
Damn this shouldn't be so hard...lol....i personally wouldn't have bought synthetic..i always buy ac delco now im so confused on what to grab n i believe i need 6..8 quarts...im assuming i need to get dex 6 synthetic now...if so it wont be frame...??
No. Most of it was based on refined crude oil, with different additives from engine oil, and a bunch of red dye.What bothers me is everyone keeps saying synthetic with the transmission fluid. Y'all do know there's not an oil well in the world that pumps out transmission fluid. It's all synthetic every drop.
