Motomaster Dexron Vi Fully Synthetic

[Gannet167]

In my local area this sells at Canadian Tire for $7.39. The MSDS says it's made by Citgo. Citgo's website says their Transmax Dexron VI is approved and licenced by GM. The next option seems to be Napa Premium selling at $9.93 (napa Canada), and prices go up dramatically from there.

Thoughts on MM Dex6?

Regardless of whether Citgo manufacturers it for CT or not, the product has to have a license number. I'd look for one on the back label.

Assuming it is actually licensed dexron-VI then one would be hard pressed to identify any one licensed fluid as being better than another.

I've used their Dex/Merc/ATF+4 in friends applications (supplied by them) and have had 0 issues on high mileage vehicles.
I do think there is better products out there for the prices they are charging though, but I wouldn't hesitate in using it.

Their OE labelled house branded ATF's are licensed.

How much do you need? If you just need a couple litres, that's good enough pricing. If you need a bunch, check with a Shell, Imperial Oil, or Petro-Canada distributor for their pricing.

If you need DEX VI buy the DEX VI which costs the least. It all so close to the same we can call it the same.

Got it in my son's GM transfer case. No problems.

Here it is.

Also check out what PetroCan has. They make licenced Dex 6 (I believe it was also the ACDelco branded Dex 6 as it was the same bottle). The Duradrive LV is also suitable for use as Dex 6. I know the higher viscosity Duradrive runs around that 7.32$ a liter before tax.

As I write this I see Garak beat me to it. Darn him and his stuff.

This would be an acceptable ATF and the PDS says:
Quote
CITGO TRANSGARD DEXRON-VI ATF is recommended for use in automatic transmissions manufactured by General Motors.


but nowhere do I see a license number, so without a license number they cannot say it is "approved" by GM.

It could also be the approval is forthcoming and not yet on GM's list.

The back of the Motomaster bottle says " Qualfied and Licensed by General Motors"

Yes but licensed is misspelled?

Yes but I believe this stuff was licensed as a Dexron VI rebrander when GM provided a list of Dexron licensed fluids.
