In general terms Dextron and Mercon are essentially the same. It is 
basically the copyright to the name that is the major difference. 
Dextron is purported to be backwards compatible to all previous 
Dextron's. That said the Wiki link below seems to differentiate some of 
that comparability (note the 2016 Dextron specific to GM manual 
transmissions and is NOT for Automatic cars despite the Dextron name)!  
Being Dextron is primarily an Automatic transmission fluid running 
changes made for the Auto trans /might/ affect its use in the manual.

  Automobile fluids (motor oil, trans fluid, gear oil) often get close 
to a subject that could be Forum forbidden for the (at times) 
contentious rancor that can ensue. All that said I use any Dextron I 
have on hand but it is in my T-5 equipped Turbo Pinto. I wish you the 
best in trying to make an informed decision. I'm just relaying 
information not stating an opinion.

Same here in my T-56 in my '99 Corvette.  The interesting thing I found is
that after many 10's of thousands of miles, the ATF does seem
to get old.  After I change it, it really does shift easier, especially
shifting into first at a stoplight.
