Transmission fluid evolution..
My old burb was designed for Dex III. I have of course been using Dex-6 on the occasional drain and fill. I went to the store to buy some Dex 6 the other day and all they had was a synthetic Dex-6/M...

I understand your aprehension on a multi use fluid.
A couple I have had good luck with are Valvoline Maxlife atf, and Amsoil.
The Valvoline Maxlife is a newer formulation that is similar to the low viscosity formulas like Dex6 and Mercon LV. It still seems to work fine in the older Dex3 applications.
Amsoil handles it a bit different, they offer a low viscosity formula and a traditional viscosity formula. I do prefer this, since you csn more closely match the viscosity to what the transmission was originally designed to use.
