I looked for Dexron III in the auto store today and couldn't find it. The sales guy told me the Castrol Transmax Dex/Merc was the same as Dexron III and was safe to use. Has anyone used this or know if this is safe to use? I'm changing fluids tomorrow while waiting for my starter to be rebuilt. Thanks a lot!

Sams Club usually has Dexron III for sale by the case here in WV. You may be able to find some there if you have one near by.

GM no longer licenses Dexron III. Dex/Merc would be fine. Dexron VI is listed by GM as backward compatible, but is thinner than original Dexron III. I'd use the Dex/Merc myself.
Thanks cbear. I'll use the Dex/Merc then.

Tranny fluid is not all that important the type as long as you use the same fluid and don't mix
I run tractor hydraulic fluid in my race car th400 because it locks up tighter then a type f which locks up tighter then dex.

Walmart carries dex III for around 2.70$ quart. Most of the stuff that is dex III will say it small print on the back of the bottle.
