Amsoil is probably the best you can get IMO, especially if you want to do it one time and forget about it for a while, but I just use Dexron VI, and do a drain and fill about ever 30k miles, (40-45k miles will work also). Have never had any issues. No need to flush as long as you use Dex VI. If I were going to use Amsoil, I would pump out all the Dex VI in the tranny using the procedure that is on this forum, before adding Amsoil. I think you will need 12-16 quarts of Amsoil to do a proper flush and fill. No big deal draining and refilling these tranny's. Takes me about 10-15 minutes. Just put back in what you drain out, that way it is always at the right level, unless you have a tranny leak. For me it is exactly 4.5 quarts every time I drain it. Now the way I do it does not get all the fluid out at one time, only about a 1/3 of it, as the whole system holds about 12 quarts if memory serves me. By doing it my way it still does a good job, as every 30k miles 4.5 quarts of older fluid is replaced with 4.5 quarts of new. Since it is so easy, I will continue to use the Dex VI fluid as I have been. Lots of different ideas on how to properly do a tranny fluid change on these cars on here, but several do it my way, and none of us have ever had a tranny problem. I do this with my 08' Honda Civic also, just drain and refill with Honda tranny fluid only. I've done it every 20-25k miles, and this is even what the manual states to do with it. It is right at 3 quarts every time I do it. Never an issue with it either.

Since I've bought the car on 10/21/2016, I've put on a whopping 9,209mi. I know, I need to drive more! ! !

That is lot of miles! I've got a 93' GMC Sierra, bought new in fall of 92' that has 114k miles on it, which is less than 5k/yr, and a 11' GMC Sierra bought new in fall of 10' that just turned 41k miles. I put most of my miles on my little Honda Civic driving to and from work.

5+(41/7?) + ? =10.86k + ?k
And you think I have a lot of miles. Do the math!

Yeah, I was being a little sarcastic. I was talking about how many average miles were put on each individual vehicle. I don't drive the trucks very much at all. Most of those miles were put on them when they were new. The last few years I've put less than 2k/yr on the 11' model, and the 93' is lucky to have 1k/yr put on it. The Cruze is a 13' model, bought for my daughter, it is already in the mid 70's, bought new in fall of 12'. My son just turned 16, and wants the 93', so I will imagine it will get a little more of a workout. :biggrin:
