2001outbackwag

I am seeing allot of information concenring Dexron III has been replaced by Dexron VI. Is this ok to use in Subaru tarnsmissions that specify Dexron II or III?

I am getting ready to change the transmission fluid in a friend of mines 2001 Outback Wagon. I see the owners manual says to use either Dexron II or III. I was wondering what the difference was or which one is preffered by Subaru owners. Also, about how much fluid is removed by just pulling the pan plug and filter? I must say I was impressed at how easy the tranny fluid change is. No need to take the pan off and the spin off filter. I wish Ford did this.
