    The Dexron VI is backwards compatible.

    Go to Walmart and see what the price of their Super Tech Dexron VI fluid is. I will bet its cheap.

    Walmart.com: Super Tech DEXRON VI Automatic Transmission Fluid, 1 qt: Automotive

    Had DexIII turn into Dr. Pepper in 30,000 miles. I picked DexVI this time.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
