Re: Dextron III / IV or Synthetic ATF
Dextron is a copyright owned by GM . If the bottle of ATF says Dextron then it meets the GM specs for that Dextron fluid . They are tested and approved by GM . The later versions of Dextron which is now Dex6 , is able to service earlier versions of Dextron . So there are companies that make synthetic versions of Dextron , and they offer all the benefits of synthetic oils . Also the fluid that is specified for Allison automatics is called TransMax and is synthetic . It is a very high quality fluid that meets Dextron specs and is made by Castrol .

Re: Dextron III / IV or Synthetic ATF
It is actually DEXRON not DEXTRON as the original poster stated. Dextron is a veterinary medicine.Sorry just a pet peeve of mine after being a parts man for over 30 years !
