    Yes and no. Dexron VI is a synthetic version of Dexron III. Dexron VI was specifically formulated for the 6L80E transmission, which doesn't use floater plates between linings.

    There is no Dexron V. If there's a V on the bottle he used, it's probably Mercon V, which is formulated for Ford transmissions.
