Simply that the generic fluid sold as Mobil 1 synthetic is not actually a Dexron fluid, whether III or VI.
The Mobil 1 Dexron VI product would be fine to use.
Alternatively, if you want to use a Mercon fluid go ahead and use Mobil 1 synthetic. It is a different product.
Dexron VI can't be reverse compatible with Mercon, as the two specs are mutually exclusive. But people seem to want to buy something that says synthetic on the bottle, even when it is a lesser fluid, so Mobil 1 produces a product for those consumers.
