ok those are all different oils (listed in your owner's manual)

 

Transmission: Dexron VI

Rear axle: SAE 75W-85 Synthetic Axle Lubricant (GM Part No. 19300457)

Front Axle (Four-Wheel Drive) SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Lubricant (GM Part No. 88900401)

Transfer Case (Four-Wheel Drive) DEXRON VI

 


you're gonna flip when you see the prices of fluids though


Yes, just yesterday I went to WalMart to buy some Dex/Merc and found the price has gone up by nearly 30% over the last few months. Interestingly, Valvoline was slightly less expensive than the store's own SuperTech brand.
