That's what it is designed for.
I think btanchors posted a UOA of it with the TAN about the same as this VOA.
If it was designed to be a DEX-VI replacement, would that compromise how well it works as a Merc LV replacement? I ask because I am considering using it in the 6R80 instead of Merc LV, but after seeing 2010_FX4's UOA's on the LV, i'm not sure there would be an advantage, especially if Merc LV wasn't the main thing this fluid was designed to replace.
Any insight on this would be appreciated
I don't think it was designed solely as a DexVI replacement, at least not according to their literature, but as a general LV replacement:
