    I would like someone to educate me about dextron. Is it a brand or just a set of standards GM created for fliuds?

    In addition I am planning on a tranny oil change and undestand how, just not happy dishing out around $70 right now. All I can find is QT size botles. I did find this [url= gal. MaxLife DEXRON/Mercon transmission fluid (VV322) | Transmission Fluid | AutoZone.com[/url]

    It's metions detron vi, but then again to my original statement.

    Sorry to do this to you, homie... here's the info you want:

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Yeah, you want Dexron VI. I'd say to get whatever's cheapest - it shouldn't matter what brand it is, since it needs to meet or exceed certain specifications. I have heard nothing about anyone's preference for any brand on this. Similarly, I can't recall any of the brands making faulty or bad Dexron VI.
