      No, no, no!!!!

      If you have 6 speed auto AF40 you will need 3litres of ATF oil with spec AW-1 (aisin warner 1) and nothing else, NOT ONLY DEXRON VI !!!! (some oil can be AW-1 and Dexron VI compatible)
      Original GM is 93165147 or 1940773 (it say on package: for cars with AF40, Insignia, Astra, Saab etc...)

      Why am I saying this...service is leting old oil out, but only 3L can come out. Then top it up with 3L of new...Can be done multiple times but dont guaranty all oil will change
      So, it is best to use same oil like in transmision, GM...
      Service should be done at 80.000km(regarding manual that say fill for life), procedure is little complicated, and temperature of ATF oil have influance on it.

      Other brands with AW-1 spec
      Motul MULTI ATF
      Valvoline MAXLIFE ATF
      Total FLUIDMATIC MV LV
      ADDINOL ATF XN plus
      ENI ROTRA ATF VI
      TUTELA transmission GI/VI
      Fuchs Titan ATF 4400
      Croon SP MAtic 2062
      Comma And Liqui Moly have some, dont know model...

          Thats the one
          Since it is also Dexron VI you can use it as power steering fluid as well...(something I plan to do soon-power steering fluid replacemant)

            Excellent. That one is much thinner oil and should do the job.

            Thank you for your help mate
