It's time for a transmission flush soon and noticed that the Castrol brand I had been using once again has changed its labeling. The Dexron III or II E that used to be available, is now labeled as "Domestic Multi-Vehicla ATF". and say it meets the requirements of the Dexron I'd been using in the past. What's up with the "domestic" wording? An '86 is NOT a domestic car. Is this safe to use or is it now a generic for foreign and domestic blend? My transmission has survived for 375K miles with flushes every 25K miles with the old Castrol.

Thanks in advance for thoughts and advice.
