It started about 2 months after the fluid change while towing an empty trailer it slipped while making a pass, SES light came on, I pulled over and it had hardly any power. Turned it off and set, then back on and I drove for another month beforfe the same thing happened while not towing. Kept driving, it corrected itself and drove another 300 miles from AZ to LA with no issues.
Next week, same issue with slippage and limited power, but I lost reverse for a few minutes, then limped it into Chevy where they said the fluid was burnt and the pressure in the tranny forced the filter out from its setting.
Chevy stated the fluid used could definitely have been the root of the problem.
