ATF, ATF3 and ATFdexron/mecron 4...Straight ATF is the norm. You can upgrade to synthetic as well it last longer. I usually buy my transmission fluids and motor oils from Walmart cause the same product at O'rielly, Autozone, Advanced are usually $8-10 more. I use Valvoline Max Life come in the red containers it's ATF, ATF3 and ATF4 compatible....
