DEXRON Vl
i am about to change transmission fluid in my 2014 M7.
i am having a hard time finding Dexron lll to purchase.
i have found several articles online stating that Dexron lll was phased out by GM in 2011 and replaced with Dexron Vl.
Does anyone have any experience with Dexron Vl in their M7 vehicle?
thx

DO NOT USE DEXRON VI in the C7 manual transmission, ONLY DEXRON 3 or equivalent.
Use:
Amazon.com: Mobil 1 Synthetic Automatic Transmission Formula (1 Qt) : Automotive
Red Line Synthetic Oil. D4 ATF (redlineoil.com)
OR GM 10-4033 88861800

The GM recommended lubricant is available on Amazon and works just fine in my M7. The page says they only have 6 quarts in stock.
If you don't have a pump to pump the lubricant out of the container purchase the correct pump from Amazon. The transmission and diff fluid containers have different size openings so two pumps are needed if you are changing both fluids.
