You could use either, as both are mineral-based fluids. Mobil ATF 3309 is mineral oil based & recommended for use in Aisin-Warner 5-speed automatics ('03 & later). The approvals are JWS 3309, GM 9986195, VW/Audi G-055-025-A2, & Toyota T-IV/T4 & T-III/T3. Although not recommended as a direct replacement for Dexron III, Mobil Tech Support said it is safe to mix with Dexron III or use as a replacement. Its fluid properties are similar to Dexron III.

Due to GM's release of new Dexron VI synthetic blend ATF, no new fluid can be labeled as "Dexron III." It can only be labeled as "approved for use where Dexron III is specified." Most manufacturers have now revised their Dexron/Mercon labels to read "Dex/Merc" or something similar. If I wanted to use a mineral oil based ATF today, it would have to be one of these "Dex" products.

Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF is recommended for use wherever Dexron III or 3309 is specified. It is not recommended for use where Dexron VI is specified. Its fluid properties are similar to Dexron III & 3309. Being fully synthetic, it does, of course, have the benefit of significantly improved cold flow properties (along with all of the other synthetic oil benefits).

Dexron VI is a synthetic blend ATF & is not recommended for use where Dexron III is specified. Of note, its fluid properties are different from Dexron III.
