Default Synthetic Dex III

Who makes a synthetic Dex III suitable for the MN6 tranny? I'm looking for something locally bought, not Redline or Amsoil.

Castrol?

Mobil 1 makes a good synthetic auto trans fluid; I have used it in a C4 and a C5. :yesnod: :)

I run the Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in my racecar. Good stuff. I plan on switching the Vette over this summer. :chevy

Couldn't find Mobil 1 synthetic DexIII so I went with Catsrol full synthetic. 4.99/Qt. It only took about 3.75 qts as apposed to the 4.1 called for in the manual. :confused:

3.75 is all that it will hold. Since the drain plug is on the side in the back, I figure that is where the extra comes in. If you removed the transmission and drained it, I bet you could get the 4.1 back in. Just my quess.
