Review: This is the correct fluid for my GM Th350 Transmission. Good price too! - This is the correct fluid for my GM transmission. I saved a lot of money at desertcart. The Auto Zone sells the same stuff for $10 a quart.
Review: Dexron III - The box was barely sufficient for shipping. It was handled so much, the box was like tissue. I'm very surprised that the container didn't burst open. At very least; it should have been marked as a fragile liquid. Good product great price when purchased in bulk.
