Trans shops don't like it because they want a generic fluid to use in all transmissions.

Nick do you recommend replacing filter seal with every filter? I didn’t last time, I’m guessing it’s quite possible the original seal is in it. I did a new filter at about 50k(original) a couple years ago. I did a complete fluid exchange at that time and have drained pan a few times since, cycling new fluid in to keep fresh. Anyway, hoping to just pop a new filter up in there. Open to any other suggestions as well with 82k on truck now.
Think its more of a difference than that, unless im shopping at the wrong places (definitely possible). But like I said, run it if you want in the older stuff, there's no harm in it. Folks also like Type F for a bit firmer shifts, quite a few of my customers use it in their GM transmissions.
Generic? What do you mean by that?
Transmission fluid is highly regulated so you're using one of the formulations out there based on make/model/vintage, regardless of what company's name is on the bottle but there's no such thing as "generic" fluid, at least not how you appear to be using the term.
Nah, not unless it's unable to hold the filter in place on it's own. I tore down a 94 4L60E core that ended up being grenaded inside, massive overheating but the filter seal was in like new condition.
If you do want to change it, you can simply tap and pry it out with a small flat blade screwdriver. A new one installs with a bushing driver or socket of the right size...

How 'bout that "universal" Castrol fluid pictured a couple of posts ago?
Believe I will continue using the fluid specified by GM instead of gambling.
Do whatever you want, man. Doesn't impact us one way or another...

Bet few believe any "universal" fluid is better than the only fluid specified by GM.

It says DexIII, but I failed to mention Dex6, I guess they just assumed it was DexIII.
The water in sample was my fault, there was water in the tube of the pump I used to extract sample.
According to this, the Castrol doesn’t seem to be causing any issues. Kinda feels like you need everyone to agree that your way is the best and only way.
Ford specifies Motorcraft, Dodge-Mopar, Toyota-WSA(Toyota Genuine), Mazda-FZ….ALL manufacturers specify their own brand.
They make “universal” transmission fluid because “many” universally use the same type of fluid.
Not only that, some manufacturers use the same manufacturer for their transmission’s.
Who Makes the 10-Speed Transmission for GM?
The Hydra-Matic 10LXX transmission is a product of a collaboration between General Motors and Ford Motor Company. In Romulus, Michigan, GM produces a variant called Hydra-Matic 10L80.
