The Walmart brand in Full Synthetic, claims to be DEXRON VI equivalent @ $21 per Gal. I read somewhere where this stuff is made by the same company that makes AC Delco Dexron VI,..theres a couple youtube comparisons. cc-ca1dcdd0620d_1.cc85be27819a1543220e1627201d1f19.jpg
For a few bucks more, why risk it? I bought 12 quarts from Amazon. I think I ended up using just over 10 for a flush Or get a couple of gallons and a few quarts for topping it off. The flush is a piece of cake to do. The filter not so much unless you take down the exhaust. It can be done without taking down the exhaust but hard to get to. I made the mistake of having that part done and was a waste of fluid since it did not clear it up and ended up doing a flush myself. But it did need the new filter at 100k miles.

Its a lot more than "a few bucks"... Wal-Mart brand is on sale for $17 gal,.. Mobile 1 is $60 gal, times 3 gals is a huge savings. I have done the flush/filter on several gmt's,.. ...surprisingly easy on most.
