Although Dexron VI is a tremendous fluid it is a synthetic blend.
Not if you use Valvoline DEXRON-VI Full-Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid.
You are correct and I knew about Valvoline. A number of people have made blanket statements that Dexron VI is synthetic which is not the case. When researching what synthetic to use in my previous truck I found the Transynd which is made by Castrol and IIRC, was the only true ATF synthetic at that time, Along with Valvoline there may be other brands but I have not researched it.
Neither Amsoil nor Royal Purple are on the Allison approval list. GM may approve them.
I just "bumped" the following from the Class A forum: "Let Me Know if You Have Allison Transmission Fluid Questions"
You have to pay GM to be approved, and/or give them monies for each quart sold. Amsoil doesn't seem to want to play their game.
