For fluid, I went with RedLine D4ATF. If you can't get that, can you get Dexron VI?
No Dexron VI here, dextron II max. I'll try to get the VI online from the US even if it hurts to pay so much shipping (oil is heavy!), still cheaper than a new transmission!
FYI, I tried to contact Mobil (for the Mobil 1 stuff) and Yacco (for their reknown products) to see if they recommend their fluids in GM transmissions, no reply...
