[FC] Automatic transmission fluid

[Jim Davis]

Dexron III is backward compatible with all previous Dexrons.   Dexron VI 
is the newest, backward compatible and much more temperature and 
viscosity stable than previous versions.  Be advised, the slicker Dexron 
will cause the low band to slip at about 150 ftlbs of torque.   The 
drive and reverse clutches will still hold.  About 5oz of TransTuneX 
will stop the shipping.   I use Dexron VI in the 5,400 lb UltraVan with 
with the 190 cuin Corvair based 140 engine.   I doubt there is a more 
severe use of a PowerGlide.
