    The car came with a high grade Dexron III. Dexron VI is supposed to be a drop in replacement.

    Dexron IV is synthetic, it is also a bit thinner than Dexron III, GM made it thinner to lessen parasitic losses in the transmission. It is supposed to be a drop in replacement, but if you're not comfortable, Dexron III can be had just as easily.
