Some of the confusion comes from Mobil changing the product offering recently. They used to have 2 synthetic ATF formulas (1 for DEX 3 specified on the bottle for older GM cars and 1 that was specified on the bottle for newer DEX VI cars) but it seems they only have one true SYNTHETIC formula now. The Mobil 1 synthetic fluid you want should have a definate smell (gear oil smell) to it unlike the original GM fluid that comes out of your tranny. You want the DEX 3 based formula that says on the bottle it is for OLDER GM cars, not the Dex VI version that is specified on the bottle for Newer GM cars.
Also - The current Mobil 1 DEX VI ATF version (specified on the bottle for newer GM vehicles) does not apper to be synthetic. This fluid will not help your notchyness and should not be used.

Okay, I'm really confused. Are any of these the "right" fluid?
