Description

Mobil Dexron-VI ATF is a part-synthetic fluid in the Mobil ATF range for GM automatic transmissions. It can also be used in older GM units where the maker specifies a Dexron fluid.

The fluid holds official GM Dexron VI approval, which according to the data sheet keeps the GM vehicle warranty intact. It also meets the Isuzu requirement for power-steering fluid.

Typical figures: 5.85 mm²/s at 100 °C, 30 mm²/s at 40 °C, flash point 214 °C, Brookfield viscosity at -40 °C 11,500 mPa·s.

Application

GM automatic transmissions whose maker requires Dexron VI, and older GM units where a Dexron fluid is specified.

Worth knowing

Mobil ATF Multi-Vehicle holds the same GM Dexron VI approval within the Mobil range, and the typical figures of the two fluids are identical to the digit: viscosity at 40 and 100 °C, Brookfield viscosity at -40 °C and flash point. The difference lies elsewhere. ExxonMobil describes this fluid as a part-synthetic blend and Multi-Vehicle as fully synthetic, and Multi-Vehicle’s list also carries the Volvo 97342 approval and JASO 1A LV. So when a Volvo service book specifies 97342, Multi-Vehicle is the only one of the two approved for it.

Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF is another story. Its list has no Dexron VI at all, only Dexron II, Dexron III-G and III-H and MERCON V, and none of these names carries the status of a GM or Ford approval there. The article on universal ATF explains how a DEXRON licence differs from a fluid maker’s claim and where in an ATF data sheet to find it.
