Hello all
I was wondering what people on this oil specialty forum think about ATFs which advertise Full Synthetic ATF, but have petroleum/mineral base oils in them, group III?
For example, Valvoline Full Synthetic Dexron VI ATF SDS sheet shows it has mineral oil and petroleum distillates in it. see attachment screen shots of the SDS from Valvoline's SDS website: https://www.valvoline.com/our-products/sds
It does say ACDelco, but its on Valvoline's website. (also, side question, does this mean Valvoline's D-VI ATF is relabeled ACDelco?)
And my follow up question is, if I wanted to upgrade to a "real" full synthetic ATF, made for Dexron VI applications, but not necessarily "approved/licensed" Dexron VI, but definitely recommended with no problems, which should I go with? I've used a lot of Redline. I've used some Royal Purple. But Valvoline Dexron VI ATF is so cheap compared with Redline D6, $5 vs $20 a quart.
The reason is for high temp towing applications where a better full synthetic Group V ATF may resist varnish build up better than the Group III ATFs with mineral oils/etc.
Thanks
