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 is formulated using advanced HC/HT hydrocrack technology and meets strict GM specifications including Dexron VI, MB 236.41, GM J-60331, and GMN 10060.

The key advantage of this fluid is its extended service life—approximately twice as long as conventional ATF oils. This means fewer transmission fluid changes over your vehicle's lifetime, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Key Performance Benefits

• Superior oxidation resistance: Stays cleaner longer, protecting internal transmission components from sludge and deposits
• Excellent low-temperature flow: Ensures smooth shifting even in cold weather conditions
• Better fuel economy and torque transfer: Improves overall vehicle efficiency compared to older Dexron III fluids
• Enhanced wear protection: Reduces friction and wear on bearings, bushings, and gears for longer transmission life
• Improved thermal stability: Maintains consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range (typically -30°C to +100°C)

When to Use / Replace?

Check your vehicle's owner manual for the recommended service interval. With RAVENOL ATF Dexron VI's extended durability, many modern GM vehicles can go 80,000 to 160,000 kilometers (or 4 to 8 years) between fluid changes, depending on driving conditions. Severe driving conditions (towing, frequent city driving) may require more frequent changes.

This fluid is completely backward compatible with older Dexron III (H), III, and IIE specifications, making it suitable for both newer and older GM automatic transmissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this fluid in non-GM vehicles?
A: This fluid is specifically approved for GM vehicles. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual to confirm the correct fluid type. Using the wrong transmission fluid can damage your transmission.

Q: How long does this fluid last once opened?
A: Unopened, this synthetic fluid maintains its properties for several years when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use within the same service session to prevent contamination.

Q: Is this fluid more expensive than conventional ATF?
A: While the initial cost may be slightly higher, the extended service life (twice as long as conventional ATF) means fewer changes over time, resulting in lower total maintenance costs.
