Default DEXRON VI now available...

at your local auto parts store with the Irish name
Valvoline Fully Synthetic DEXRON VI...in a blue bottle...$6.xx/qt...
I'm looking into whether we can get it in gallons or not...
It's part of a new planogram, so your local store may still have it in the stockroom, but they should have at least one case and can order it from their warehouse as well...

We've had it at work here for quite a while. From what I understand of it improvement wise, I like it.

some of the new Dex VI are synthetic (Valvoline), some are a blend (Castrol), and some are non-synthetic (Pennzoil). FLT recommended me to NOT use synthetic, so i used Pennzoil Dex VI

ya the GM part is what i would recomend.... and as far as yank goes, dont use synthetic. it has shown in my experiences to basically kill their converters. the Dex 6 is a great alternative to synthetic, and i personally liked it better than the royal purple i ran before.
