Is there a new (2018) list of GM Dexron VI licensees?

[garageman402]

AC Delco Dexron VI has many different part numbers, with extremely different prices. Apparently, the newest incarnation of this is fully synthetic, License # J-60456. I found this license number on the only available picture of the back label of an AC Delco fully synthetic quart bottle.

I have been unable to find a list of current license holders, does it even exist anymore?

I doubt you will find a list. I know two that are.

Castrol Transmax Dexron-VI is Certified and approved by General Motors for all cars and trucks that require DEXRON -VI

Also, Castrol Transmax Dexron-VI Mercon LV

Mag1 has their Low Viscosity Multi Vehicle ATF listed as:

"Licensed by GM and Ford for use where DEXRON VI and MERCON LV transmission fluids are recommended"

Under 4 bucks a quart at RockAuto.

No list that I can find, but two more to add are Valvoline Dexron VI (not Maxlife) and Pennzoil Platinum LV.

No. Add O'Reilly and SuperTech DEXRON VI.

Here is an outdated list but has a few more brands than we mentioned above.

Thanks, Ryan, I am looking for this list in an updated version, is it even published anymore?

This list is in a very old thread here from 2012, I was looking for updated information

AFAIK no current published list is available. I will email GM via their site to request one, but I don't expect much...

I have this list from January 7, 2013, it was published by Lubrication Technologies. The editor for this newsletter (imakenews.com) passed away 7/27/18 at 11:51am I just found out. His name was Bob DeGennaro, and apparently he WAS the newsletter.

Attached are 4 pages of the License List, and the final edition (2 pages) of his newsletter with his obituary.
