Dexron III(H) is the latest upgrade. No problem in using it.

GM licenses all blenders who produce Dexron ATF. They only license the latest version...all Dexron ATF on the shelf will be Dexron-III(H) unless you find some very old stock which was Dexron-III(G). Dexron-VI is going into new GM transmissions, and will soon be available at retail...I don't know if it will be fully backward compatible like Dexron-III. (The only exception I know of is older Hondas that call for Dex-II but don't like Dex-III...Honda ATF or Dex-III plus Lubegard Black works.)

GM is claiming that Dex VI is fully backwards compatable with their transmissions that want Dex III, so I would guess you'd be fine on most other things, but of course GM isn't going to come right out and say that.

Dexron-VI is fully compatible for all prior applications calling for Dexron-III(H) and older. There's no hesistation on GM's part with regards to claiming this; they have been very clear upon the initial release of this product to advertise its backwards compatibility in all Dexron applications.

Apparently, licensed Dexron-III(H) will continue to be avaliable until 12/31/06, which is when all licensing will cease, apparently. I just picked up two gallons of SuperTech Dexron-III(H)/Mercon today at Walmart for $14 total.
