I want to know when they said "fluid change" or "flush", are they doing as I - just changing whats in the pan, and is it OK to add the New Dextron 6 to the mix of what the factory put in (i believe Texaco ETL 8072B).
Thanks

If you have decided to change the fluid, then mixing the Dexron VI with your existing fluid is not an additional risk. That is the current fluid for your original fluid spec.
A fluid change is sometimes referred to incorrectly as a flush, but it is really just a drain, filter change, and refill with approx. 50% new fluid. If you do it again, you will be up to 75% new fluid.
A full flush uses a cart with a pump and a filter to cycle the fluid out. I wouldn't do that, myself, particularly on a higher mileage transmission with original fluid.
