I was doing some googling and found the following quote that I thought many would find interesting. I'm not sure whether his conclusions necessary follow, but here it is FWIW:
"Some trivia. Do a search in Google for Mobil 3309. This is Mobil`s 3309 ATF. It is Toyota Type T-IV equivalent. 3309 is a GM spec. So yes, Mobil 3309 is Toyota Type T-IV which might as well be Dexron-VI. So Mobil 3309 ATF can be used on any vehicle requiring past versions of Dexron ATFs because Dexrons are backward compatible. A link below to Mobil`s 3309 page is below. 3309 is required in a lot of Aisin-Borg-Warner ATs. Looking at things any AT needing LT71141 can use 3309.

Here's an except from the M1 site referenced above:
"Specifications and Approvals

I don't know how to evaluate the conclusions drawn by the writer above, but I'd be interested in peoples' comments here.
Could this M1 3309 ATF be a good choice for both my Chev truck that calls for Dex III my BMW 5speed that asks for Esso LT71141?
