I found this on the web
It says that Dexron VI replaces the older Dexron oils.
Where it states that DEXRON-III licensing will soon cease I assume this means it can no longer be made
DEXRON
The name DEXRON refers to a special hydraulic oil, used in power steering systems in cars, trucks, boats, and is also used as automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in vehicles. This is simply the oil used in your automatic gearbox.
It was developed by the General Motors corporation, which licenses the brand to vendors of ATF. The type of fluid we are reviewing here, while still in common use, is a little outdated, because DEXRON-VI was introduced in 2005 and is backward compatible and recommended for transmissions that require outdated DEXRON specifications, as DEXRON-III licensing will soon cease.
Dexron is a well respected name on gear oil circles, and is still recommended for use in many vehicles leaving the factories today.
There was a little controversy, whereby some people changed from Dexron 2 to 3, and found that gears were more difficult to select, these people apparently changed back to the Dexron 2 & insisted all was fine. This could be one of those urban myths, and certainly GM state that the three replaces the two, and is just a better oil, not a different one.
