My bad, db is correct. The T-IV was not required until I have used the Slick50 for manual transmissions and it is slick, but I have not nor do I think I will ever use the stuff for automatic transmissions. Early before the sun comes up. Thanks to everyone for your responses!! With most machinery that has oil lubrication, the more slippery, the better. This is not true in automatic transmissions since the clutches are soaked on the trans fluid.
The clutches are depending on the correct fluid characteristics to help them engage and disengage properly. I would only go with the manufacturer specified fluid and get rid of the slick What do you think? It is not causing any problems. The upgrading process ensures that available service fill fluids are of an appropriate quality for use in transmissions that have been designed around the improved factory fill fluid performance.
TIP: Simply topping off the fluid is adequate, but a full drain and replacement is preferred, to obtain the full benefit. Dexron standards were created by GM. They lost the "Patent" to Dexron-VI in Now anyone can create their own "Blend" of Dexron-VI. Just like motor oil, you have different chemicals and blends of synthetic oils with different detergents in them; Transmission fluid can presumably be treated the same way. When working with an automatic transmission, you have solenoids that actuate the shifting of gears.
If the viscosity of the fluid you use is too great, or too low it will cause the transmission to fail because the hydraulic properties and lubricity change. If you mix an oil with another oil and emulsion occurs between the two oil's detergents it can create something of a secondary chemical reaction; You could definitely have an issue if this occured. The additives on Dexron-VI are probably specific to GM transmissions and hence why if you mix it with other fluids, they don't get along.
Their specific automatic transmission fluids are designed to work for the transmissions that the engineers built it for. If you put off brand or "General" ATF in the transmissions, they will fail immediately or quite quickly because their properties don't fall within the engineered specification.
