Default Change transmission fluid

I am changing my transmission fluid and I know there are a lot of threads talking about this, but do you think using the O'Reilly Dexron 6 full synthetic ATF. Do you think that would work?

Thank you!

Yeah that's what I would normally use but I have the z51 manual transmission and in the manual it just says contact your dealer.

This DIY thread has some recommendations on the M7 fluid. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...d-service.html I personally use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF Dexron III spec.

Here is spec sheet from Tremec regarding the M7 tranny https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...tr-6070-a.html = 3.5 liters (7.4 pints) of Dexron III ATF

I give up, why not simply put the OEM recommended back in it... especially if you have a drive-train warranty in effect?
