<VV> dexron revisited

[Joel McGregor]

I've been using the VI in all my automatics since shortly after it came out (none of them Corvairs).  It's synthetic and supposedly much better.  Napa usually makes me a pretty good deal when I buy 10 cases at a time.  My Malibu's old metric 200 has been gradually working better as the fluid keeps getting changed.  It used to slip in reverse but quit after about 3 changes.  Any type of fluid may have done the same.
