Flush and Fill M6 V6 tranny...fluid?

I am going to do a flush and fill this weekend along with my diff swap. I know it just requires Dot 3/Dot 4 for the fluid...

I see people recommending Redline...but i dont see Dot3 or dot4 fluid through them....

What do you recommend?

I just did my transmission and differential 2 weeks ago. Here is what I purchased:

1x : http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-10-400...ilpage_o06_s00

1x : http://www.amazon.com/Plews-55001-Lu...ilpage_o06_s00

3x : http://www.amazon.com/Mobil-104361-7...ilpage_o06_s00

Although, I didn't not really enjoy that quart pump, the tube was NOT long enough to reach all of the fluid in the Mobil 1 bottles.

3.3 oz of that ACDelco fluid goes in the diff, then top off with the 1 quart bottle.

The other 2 quart bottles go into the transmission.

Hope that helps!

I just used Mobil-1 full synthetic. When you fill it, add a smidgen more than the 1.9 liters suggested. I did and I noticed that the shifting became a lot smoother.
