Best Answer

You *MUST* use Dextron VI on transmissions manufactured after 2007, unless you do a full flush of the whole transmission, torque converter, high and low pressure coolant lines, and the cooler.. Dextron III can damage the clutch-packs of older transmissions and it isn't recommended. Mixing isn't recommended either - as you will affect the slip-coefficent of the final product.

The transmission may be advertised as "sealed for life". But that is a load of bollocks. If you want to replace the unit after 250,000Kms - fine. But if you want it to last the life of the car? Change it at 90,000Km intervals by using the pump-out method.
