Hi
I have a 2003 e53 3.0d gm 5 speed.
Trying to find out what fluid type i need.
Been told so many different types.

So i need some advice please.


Thank you.

Original oil from the factory is Dexron III-H which can be replaced by newer Dexron VI. What I've used during the years is Petro-Canada AFT D3M.

DEX VI replaced DEX III. I use DEX VI in mine. No issues. It runs and shifts great. 177k+ miles.
