Just got my Allison trani filter and besides the new filter and cleaning the magnet, and replaceing it, will I need any Dextron VI trani oil ? Any tips would be appreciated to this diesel novice.

Good idea to fill filter with fluid, Dextron VI, before install. Less than a quart is needed.

Outside of buying Dextron VI from the stealer anyplace else that sells it or equivalent?

Only GM dealers currently have Dextron VI...be glad when Wally World starts carrying it.

Old Soldier, First I admire your flag "Old Glory" waving away. Mine waves 365 days a year. Second, thanks for the message...I thought only the stealers carried dextron VI cause I did call around but thought I'd check. Good Luck to ya.
An Old Soldier Too !

About damn time!
I believe Mike L. once said it was fine to refill the spin on with DexIII since it was such a small amount.

Amsoil's Universal with a batch code higher than 1089 meets Dexron VI specs, according to their tech line. It's in my LBZs Ally now.

A little advice from experience, make sure the transmission is cold before removing the filter. If not you will definately need more than half a quart.

I always change the filter when it is cold. I have the new filter filled with fluid, a clean magnet, get under the truck, change it less than 4 minutes...
