But, I always see that most (if not all) of the ATF bottles on the shelves say they're somehow compatible with everything. For example, a Valvoline bottle says:
Did ATF makers recently obsolete all the standards, or would it be better to try to find a bottle of something that'* only DEXRON-VI-compatible?

I guess I'll just go with whatever compatible fluid I can find.
