Me neither.
The problem I see with some of the "DexronVI caused such as such problem" statements is the lack of a clear, definitive cause-and-effect relationship.
In many cases, some guy finally checks his ATF and discovers it has never been changed, it looks like 100,000 mile diesel oil, and tries to clean up a tranny not shifting properly and most likely on its way out.
Ugh. That may be me. I purchased a used 2002 Trailblazer with 111K on the odometer, and I've swapped all the fluids except the transmission and the cooling system. I'm gonna replace the transmission fluid with DEX VI and the filter, so hopefully I don't have any issues.
