What is the Correct Transmission Fluid
Ive been searching on here but there seems to be a lot of confusion and differing opinions.
What is the GM recommended fluid? Where can I get it?
What is a suitable aftermarket replacement fluid? Is it better or worse? why?
Maybe if this thread works out well it can become a sticky. I'm personally really confused, Autozone tried to sell me ATF.

When I log in to the GM Owner's Center the manual tells me Dexron 3.
I went to a dealer today and they told me it was a Satrun part #21018899.
So which is it? Is there any difference between the Saturn 21028899 and the GM 88862472?
The dealer told me the Saturn fluid was $14/qt while people on here and CED quote the GM fluid at $20+. Because of this price difference it makes me feel like there is a difference.

The dealer sold me dexron VI ATF for my 2008 2.4L sport 5-speed MANUAL... its AC Delco so the fluid itself is probably OEM good, i just hope its the right fluid for this transmission. Costed $15 for 2L. does anyone know if its the right fluid?
This should be figured out for all model years and made a sticky!!
