I went to the store to buy some Dex 6 the other day and all they had was a synthetic Dex-6/Merc-LV. I read the label and it reads like a fluid that replaces the above two plus some import fluids. I suppose I will run it and not worry about it. But, as a general rule, I haven't been a big fan of the multi use fluids.
probably does not matter at this point but dex 6 was not backwards compatible with dex 3 at least not in the Allison transmissions dex 6 would damage the seals for some reason there was a certain manufacturer date for the change over, look for the material standard number if it is on the bottle it should be ok .
