If you don't really know, why reply? It's so frustrating.

He was 1/2 right. If it's Dexron VI specs, you do not want to use it in manual transmission.

Mobil 1 Dexron VI formula is in a BLUE bottle and specifically says Dexron VI:

YOU DO NOT WANT THIS IN YOUR MANUAL TRANSMISSION

This handy dandy little slip of paper I got from my dealer (it's one of the last pages of the parts catalog) and it says part# 88861800 is the manual transmission fluid for a V8.

A quick Google comes back with this fluid being a replacement for DEXRON III in manual transmissions!

OH BOY, DEXRON3 is an ATF!

EDIT:
Quick bit of history. Dexron III ceased to exist as a licensed by GM transmission fluid in December 2006.

Half right is still half wrong. It's a lot better to have your shit together in the first place or just not go there at all.
