I've used Chevron ATF in all my GM automatics going back to about '95.

All my gas engines have Chevron supreme motor oil in them also.

Chevron makes good stuff. Never an issue with any of their products.

Newest dexron fluid is dex 6. It is used for newer trannys that have internal TCMs. Gm recomends dex 6 usage in place of dex 3 for warranty repairs. We use Chevron dexron fluid here at our dealership.
