Where can I find Dexron VI? Becuase I know the new GM synchromesh trans fluid is spendy spendy (if that is what your referring to jcat)

Thanks Guys!!!

last year I used the synchromesh manual transmission fluid in the 94 S10 5 SPeed manual tranny...got fluid at auto zone pennsoil , not that expensive ...after replacing the dexron III that the transmission called for on the owners manual , we found the synchromesh worked much better..easier shifting at all temps a good improvement..

Its been a very long time since I have used dexron III in a AUTOMATIC 4L60 TRANNY. even so I remember how the shifting speed increased , there is a difference for sure. the slow shifting of dexron III is why GM got hit with all those warrantee costs ..that is why the GM spec is not on any dexron III made today ..
