Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

I am comparing Dexron VI to this one:

Which clearly states that it can be used as an alternative to Dexron III.

I did read them several times and compared both characteristics. But, why they have ATF III as an image for Dexron III?

AC Delcdo ATF III is not dexron and it is still in the market. However, the image of it is on that flyer for Dexron III (which is discontinued).

To prevent people like you from using it knowing the transmission lasts longer using DexVI

This did not really answer my question. Though being sarcastic at this point does not really help. But thanks anyway.

You still need help?
GM terminated all licensing for the production of Dexron III in 2006. GM informed the public that the only fluid compatible with Dexron III was the replacement Dexron VI.

Enough with that attitude already. I believe you don't check nor read the links I shared.

https://www.acdelco.com/parts/oils-f...smission-fluid

It is clearly mentioned here that this type of fluid is also a substitute for Dexron VI.

Apparently I don't need help from you, but you do need to read a little bit.

Thank you for your answers anyway (which I already read through Google before I type my question here). If anyone else can actually read carefully and understand my question and would like to answer based on knowledge and experience not through Google. I'd appreciate it.

Both ATF III and Dexron VI are AC Delco and not aftermarket. I'm asking about ATF III which is also AC Delco and not aftermarket and it is also mentioned on there that it can be used instead of Dexron III.

My question whats the difference between AC delco ATF III and Dexron VI? If both can be used instead of Dexron III which is mentioned on the AC Delco website.
Not sure what the difference it. But if it is not marked Dexron VI, it should not go into the H2. Period.
No reason to put old style trany fluid into the vehicle, when new, better fluid is available.

I will give you an example. The 2015 and some other years of Corvette had a particular ATF specified by GM. That ATF spec changed numerous times, because the ALL old variants worked, but caused slippage. The NEW, latest ATF fixed the problems. But the old ATF is still specified. But of course should not be used.

Ditto for the ATF in your H2. Always use what the latest is (minus perhaps one year after public release to make sure it is proven first).

You are going down the wrong rabbit hole and stressing over some old fluid type. Forget about it.

There is your answer.
