When Dex III was no longer being made/licensed GM changed my trans fluid to their own "upgraded" version of ATF - called "manual transmission and transfer case fluid.GM #88861800).
#DEXRON III MERCON MANUAL#
GM originally specced Dex lll in their T56 manual transmissions. e-automatic-transmission-fluid-md-3.html https:/ / / sdspds/ PDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=77329&docFormat=PDF ansmission-fluids/dexron-mercon-atf.html https:/ / our-products/ automatic-transmission-products/ dex-merc-atf https:/ / en_au/ australia/ products/ cars/ automatic-transmission-fluids/ atf-dex-iii.html https:/ / / en/ automatic-transmission-fluid/ d-m-atf. They most definitely aren't putting baby oil in a bottle.
There's no way that the major oil companies are labelling this as meeting Dexron-III specifications without it actually doing so. A supplier can put baby oil in a bottle and call it DEX III.īuy DEX VI- all the talk about DEX III being better is certain conditions is just that - talk.Īn ATF can easily meet Dexron-III standards, even though GM is no longer licensing it. There is no longer a fluid bottled that meets DEX III requirements as DEX III is no longer a licensed product. As for these other fluids, you might need to search around for them, but they are out there. I think Volvo has one made to Dexron-III specs, but it's rather expensive.

You can also find some private label Dexron-III like from Napa or Carquest. If you read the copy on the bottle, it says "for use in Dexron-III/Mercon applications" which seems to be kind of weasel words for "it's not licensed".
Given that there are a lot of older cars (and not just GM) on the market that used it, there are a lot that are specifically made to the older Dex-III standard. Could be wrong, but I thought that GM official considers it phased out. I don't believe that GM would allow that at this point given that the current standard is supposed to be backwards compatible. Hot Shot’s Secret® oils maintain their performance for longer periods, extending oil change intervals and reducing overall maintenance costs.You're not likely to find any actual, licensed Dexron-III fluid unless it's old stock. The infusion of FR3® also helps prevent premature engine failure by minimizing wear and tear on vital components, such as pistons, bearings, and camshafts.īy incorporating FR3® into our oils, we offer a superior product that extends the lifespan of engines and other oil-lubricated components, minimizes maintenance requirements and ensures peak performance and reliability. This results in reduced friction, lower operating temperatures, and improved fuel efficiency. Oils with this advanced friction-reducing technology provide superior lubrication, creating a protective barrier between metal surfaces and reducing metal-to-metal contact. FR3 Friction Reducer® is specifically designed to reduce friction and minimize wear within an engine’s moving parts. Blue Diamond ATF+4/DEXRON III/MERCON V (+4/D3/M5) also provides increased oxidation and thermal stability, deposit and sludge prevention, reduced breakdown, longer drain intervals and higher wear resistance than our competitors.Īt Hot Shot’s Secret®, we infuse our oils with FR3 Friction Reducer® due to its exceptional performance-enhancing properties. The infusion of our patented FR3 Nano Technology and additive package provides unsurpassed levels of longevity and performance while keeping the fluid cleaner longer and providing better mileage and horsepower. The formula is based on 100% pure poly-α-olefin (PAO) Group IV synthetic oil that requires a very small amount of viscosity improvers to meet the weight specifications. Blue Diamond ATF+4/DEXRON III/MERCON V (+4/D3/M5) is recommended for heavy-duty trucks, agriculture, construction and industrial equipment, drilling equipment or any other demanding environment where a quality DEXRON® III, ATF+4 or MERCON® V type transmission fluid is needed.īlue Diamond ATF+4/DEXRON III/MERCON V (+4/D3/M5) was formulated for severe duty applications.
