Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL ATF Dexron VI is a synthetic automatic transmission fluid engineered for General Motors vehicles with automatic transmissions from 2006 onwards. This fluid meets GM's strict Dexron VI specification and is approved under license GM J-60331, with additional certifications including MB 236.41 and GMN 10060.

The special synthetic formulation delivers twice the service life of conventional transmission fluids, meaning you can go longer between fluid changes. It works at temperatures ranging from -30°C to +160°C, ensuring smooth operation in both cold winters and hot driving conditions.

Key Benefits

• Extended drain intervals: Lasts significantly longer than standard ATF, reducing maintenance frequency and costs
• Superior protection: Resists sludge buildup, oxidation, and thermal breakdown that damage transmissions
• Smooth shifting: Optimized friction properties ensure consistent, quiet gear changes without grinding or hesitation
• Better fuel economy: Improved torque transfer reduces engine strain and improves overall vehicle efficiency
• Cold weather performance: Flows easily at low temperatures for reliable starts and smooth operation in winter
• Wear protection: Protects bearings, bushings, and gears from corrosion and mechanical wear

When to Use / Replace?

Use RAVENOL ATF Dexron VI for all GM vehicles with Hydramatic automatic transmissions manufactured from 2006 and newer. This fluid is fully backward compatible with older Dexron III and Dexron IIE specifications, so it works in earlier GM vehicles too.

Replacement intervals: Follow your vehicle's owner manual for specific drain intervals. With this extended-life formula, many vehicles can go 80,000 to 160,000 km (or 4 to 8 years) between fluid changes, depending on driving conditions. Check your transmission fluid level every 20,000 km or monthly.

Replace immediately if: Fluid appears dark brown or black, smells burnt, or your transmission shows signs of slipping, delayed engagement, or rough shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix this with my current transmission fluid?
A: Yes. RAVENOL ATF Dexron VI is fully compatible with Dexron III and earlier specifications. However, for best results, perform a complete fluid change rather than topping off with a different brand.

Q: Is this synthetic fluid safe for older GM transmissions?
A: Absolutely. This fluid exceeds Dexron VI standards and is backward compatible with all Dexron III and Dexron IIE applications. It provides better protection than older fluids while maintaining full compatibility.

Q: How long does an unopened bottle last?
A: Properly stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unopened RAVENOL ATF Dexron VI remains usable for 3 to 5 years. Once opened, use within the same service interval as your vehicle requires.
