there is no such animal as dex 4, GM went straight from dexIII to dexVI. IMO, it's worth the cost if the spec sheet is even 50% exagerated.

ya you are right about dextron VI i wasnt paying attention to the label. what do you mean if the spec sheet is 50% exagrated . Is it ok to use dextron IV in the 4t45e 2004

short version: MUCH improved compared to dexIII, and dexVI is backwards compatible with any other previous Dex fluids.

so what i get out of it is that dextron IV is backward compatible with dextron III . Thanks for all your help and time robertisaar I learned a great deal about this tranny. So i think that i will try dextron IV.
