Anyone with any experience or knowledge with Conoco (or Kendall) Dexron VI? I could find no posts mentioning it.
I was looking at their data sheet:
Flash Point 444F
Pour Point -60F
cst@100C 6.0
cst@40C 29.8
Viscosity Index 151
cst@ - 40C (Brookfield) 11,500
Questions:
1) It has a flashpoint higher than any other ATF than I have seen listed (Except Red Line D6). Including Red Line D4, Amsoil Universal ATM, and all other Dexron VI such as Valvoline, Mobil etc.
Does this mean that it consists of a group IV / V base stock, instead of the usual group III found in other Dexron VI's?
2) On paper, if the specs are correct, should this be one of the better ATF's you can buy for both hot and cold applications?
My application is a '94, 3 speed Cushman Police Truckster (Meter Maid NYPD Parking Enforcement Vehicle). Think of a 3 wheeled golf cart. It has a 3 cylinder, liquid cooled, 27 HP Daihatsu engine with an Aisin (I think) automatic transmission. Either Dexron II or III was originally called for. Since it only holds 2-3 qts ATF, I can afford to use any of the above ATF's. I know many of you like Amsoil, but could this be better? I can buy 2 qts for under $8. It makes for a good tester of these high dollar fluids without breaking the bank since it uses so little of them. (I am running GC green right now).
