I called CED and spoke with Tom and he informed me that it is the correct fluid, it is just a different bottle and part #. Since we both ordered the same thing and got the same Saturn fluid, I feel good with his answer.

ok i just thought that the delco bottle was an updated fluid like the lnf balts use. the other bottle just looks
old lol.

That is incorrect, they are NOT the same fluids.. The Saturn 21018899 is the LSJ/Redline ORIGINAL trans fluid. The GM 88862472 is the LNF fluid, that is now being used as the LSJ 'Upgraded' fluid.

GM 88862472 is a tad thinner and is considered an 'upgrade' for LSJ models, and does give a noticeably better performance - and works better in cold too.

If you specifically ordered part# 88862472 then get what you paid for, the Saturn 21018899 is a downgrade..

I did a quick search for part number 21018899 On crate engine Depot's website and I found that it pulled up the same bottle that we ordered with part #888****, now I am really confused.

I did some homework on the Saturn Ion redline website and I found that that part number is for the old saturn redline. GM parts direct.com references the same part number for the Saturn oil and it sells for $8.** for 6 bottles. I will definitely be sending mine back. Thanks again for clearing the muddy water.
