Use whatever darn fluid that satisfies your desire as long as it is formulated to the dexron3 recipe.
Dexron isn't a recipe. It is a performance spec. It is awarded when an oil passes the test. If you don't test it you don't get to call it a Dexron certified fluid. But you can call anything 'suitable for use' if you like. Means nothing
