The GM, 5 speed ZF, and 6 speed ZF all used different fluids.

I think the diesels used ZF's as well.
Yep - the LCI 3.0d uses the 6HP26X, same as the V8s - I (wrongly) assumed that the 3.0i was the same, i.e. they moved to the ZF 6-speed with the LCI.

I was aware that the GM, ZF 5HP and ZF 6HP all use different fluids.

So all the 3.0i models have the GM 5L40E 5-speed transmission, regardless of year? Huh - who knew...?

I'm edumacated now - thanks!
