DEXRONŽ-VI ATF
General Motors Powertrain has recently upgraded to DEXRONŽ-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle production.
Only 2005 and prior models that currently use DEXRONŽ-III may use DEXRONŽ-VI as a replacement.
All 2006 and future models that use DEXRONŽ-VI are to be serviced with DEXRONŽ-VI fluid only.
DEXRONŽ-VI is an improvement over DEXRONŽ-III in the following area:
DEXRONŽ-VI
Extended Factory Fill For Life
160,000 km (100,000 mi) For Cars and Light Duty Trucks*
80,000 km (50,000 mi) (Severe Use) For Cars and Light Duty Trucks*
Clutch Friction Stability
Improved 100%
Clutch Durability Due To Fluid
Improved 120%
Oil Film Thickness
Increased 20%
Fluid Oxidation
Improved 100%
Foam/Aeration
Improved 150%
Shear Stability
Improved 200%
* These ATF change intervals remain the same as DEXRONŽ-III for the time being.
2006-2007 Transmission Fill and Cooler Flushing
Some new applications of the 6L80 six speed transmission will require the use of the J 45096 - Flushing and Flow Tester to accomplish transmission fluid fill. It is highly recommended that the clean oil reservoir of the machine be purged of DEXRONŽ-III and filled with DEXRONŽ-VI.

I was reading about Dexrom VI right from the candian chemical manufacturers website, and they stated that any GM Vehicle that takes Dexrom II or above is reccommended for use but is suitable for ANY GM transmission. Correct me if I'm wrong, but why wouldn't it be?
