Mobil 1 ATF ?

Went looking for Dexron lll fluid for my 05 Z51 and all of the brands say for use in all previously serviced with dex. lll but none of them actually said dex. lll or H spec on the bottle. I got the Mobil 1 ATF full synthetic, is that OK to use in my manual transmission ?

I used Redline and it appeared to have smoother shifting.

I have the Mobil1 ATF in my Z06's transmission, and it seems to work pretty good. The shifting is a little better then with the factory fill.

Mobil 1 actually has a Dexron VI synthetic fluid as well as the ATF fluid.
