TL;DR The genuine GM OEM product · Dexron-VI License #J-60301 confirmed on the bottle. Covers most GM automatics from 2006 and newer, replaces Dexron-III in the same applications. Community forum evidence supports shudder resolution in 6L80 and 6L45 applications. Carries a Prop 65 cancer warning. GM-only · skip it if your transmission calls for ZF, Toyota WS, or Honda DW-1.
ACDelco DEXRON-VI (part #10-9030) is manufactured by Petro-Canada for GM/ACDelco and carries a genuine Dexron-VI license · the current GM ATF spec for 2006-and-newer vehicles with 6-speed and newer automatics. It is backward-compatible with Dexron-III and Dexron-II in most applications. The base stock is Group III hydrotreated petroleum, marketed by GM as full synthetic. No independent VOA data exists for this SKU; community consensus on forums and BITOG places the practical service interval at 30,000·50,000 miles depending on use severity.
Best fit: owners of GM vehicles (Chevy, GMC, Buick, Cadillac) with 6-speed and newer automatics calling for Dexron-VI. Skip it if your vehicle requires a ZF Lifeguard, Toyota WS, Honda DW-1, or any import-spec fluid · this holds GM approval only.
The SDS classifies this product as not hazardous at mixture level · no GHS signal word, no mixture-level H-codes. The bottle carries a California Prop 65 cancer warning (petroleum base stock). SDS §8 recommends gloves during pan drain and refill. Spent ATF goes to a used-oil collection center, not down drains or on soil.
It covers GM 6-speed and newer automatics from 2006 onward across Chevy, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac, and replaces Dexron-III and Dexron-II in most applications. The base stock is Group III hydrotreated petroleum, which GM markets as full synthetic.
Yes. Dexron-VI License #J-60301 is printed on the bottle back label, and GM Material Spec GMN10060 is confirmed. ACDelco is GM's own OEM parts brand · this is the same fluid a GM dealership would use for a transmission service.
Yes. Dexron-VI is backward-compatible and replaces Dexron-III and Dexron-II(E) in most applications. The bottle label explicitly states this. Exceptions: power steering systems and manual transmissions; some specific GM models (Aveo, Epica, Equinox, Optra, Torrent, Vibe, Wave, Astra, S Series) · check your owner's manual.
The bottle back label states this product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. The likely basis is the petroleum base stock (CAS 72623-86-0). The 2015 SDS does not include a Prop 65 section · the bottle label is the authoritative disclosure. Routine pour-and-fill use with gloves and in a ventilated space is the practical mitigation.
GM's recommendation varies by vehicle and use case. Community consensus on forums and BITOG is 30,000·50,000 miles for most applications · conservative for towing or stop-and-go use, reasonable for highway-dominant driving. No independent VOA data exists for this specific SKU.
