Even Type F, or ones that specifically say not to use in transmissions requiring XXX?  Of course, I am not using it in a transmission atall, but there must be differences in formulation, or there would not be differing labels and specifications.  I was cautioned away from the product labeled Dexron VI, labeled as a synthetic, by a clerk at an Autozone, but I don't know that that means anything.

Really, the only product I found that claimed back compatibility to include a plain Dexron was the Valvoline stuff I mentioned before.

I suppose we are dealing with a system that does not become as hot as does a transmission, so less critical in some ways.  But I hate to induce leaks in places they don't already exist.
