Buck531 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 For the daily driver/track car is there any specific brand you would recommend? Valvoline? Castrol? Mobil? etc. Or are they pretty much the same. I need to drop the pan in the GS and freshen the fluids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Idk if the brand matters much, I usually buy Mobil or Castrol ATF. Out of curiousity why dex 6 instead of the typical dexron/mercon fluid that would've come in your car? I'm not really educated on the differences chemically, I just know you can't run the old stuff in a newer transmission designed for dex 6, but dex 6 mixes with the old. So obviously I see nothing wrong with running dex 6 just curious if there is some more info out there that I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Mine already has dex 6. When the previous owner had the trans built that's what he used. I also used it when in had my trans rebuilt in my Lumina way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 That's what I was planning. That's what I did before. I just didn't know if anyone had better knowledge between the brands. It's not like I'm getting Royal purple or $300 in Redline trans fluid lol.
