They just wrote that in. I originally thought it was shell M-1375.4, while I was doing my research, but there just isn't enough proof that it is. Along the way, I also thought shell donax TX, was LG6 also. Neither of these two fluids are LG6. THEY ARE EVEN BOTH RED IN COLOR!
Ok so what you're saying is that Shell has substituted the MSDS# & Product# for M-1375.4 with Shell ATF SP Fluid?

The MSDS of Mercon SP, LG6 and this fluid are all different in some respect.

Attributes Mercon SP and Shell ATF SP have in common but not with LG6:
#1 Flash points
#2 Vapor pressure
#3 Specific Gravity (off by .01)

Attributes Mercon SP has in common with LG6 and not Shell ATF SP:
#1 KV
