What automatic transmission fluid to use

That's the stuff I used, but by Valvoline brand (dex/merc III) All 3 you posted will work though. The VI is the newer fluid and is partially synthetic which is iffy sometimes on older worn transmissions.

Thanks I'll think I'll go with the autozone brand cause the valvoline is about double the price.
 
No the dex/merc valvoline is fairly cheap

use dex6 its at walmart, dont skimp out on your trans. If youve maintained the fluid regularly then you have nothing to worry about, i swapped to dex6 on my GTP with 110,000 with no issues what so ever.
 
i just did the ATF in my 04 gp GT2. i put royal purple in ($13 a quart) and a acdelc filter also a new gasket. i ended up getting 8 1/4 out of the trans. i bought all 10 quarts but didnt need it. took me about 2 hours to get it all done in my driveway
 


I paid on autozone $16 a gal. I got 2 of those.

I finally finished changing the filter and cleaned everything.
Took me 4 hours with like 30 bolts on the pan.
Got some muscles working under the car.

4 hours? I did mine in like 1, a drill does short work of the trans pan bolts. I just turned the torque down on it.
 


$140 service that only needs to be done every 80,000 miles im not worried about. my friends VW passat 99 2.6L has to have a new timing belt every 80,000 miles that cost $1200 to have done. also a trans rebuild in my car is around $2,000 depending on how strong of a rebuld you do so if buying the best ATF i can gives me an extra 10,000 miles on the trans then to me its worth it. i got 140,000 miles on the 04 GP and if you drove it you would think it just came off the GM lot.

Nobody said anything about you wanting to spend $140.00 on ATF they are stating they would rather save or waste the money on something else (whores, strippers, lube, butthole pleasures) whatever is may be. That is your choice. I change mine once a year maybe even twice if I get bored with the top of the line Walmart Supertech DEX vi lol . . . . Have done so on all my vehicles whatever suits you best.

OP : Just don't forget to put a new filter on HAHAHA
