our tranny fluid is dexronIII/mercon. the mobile 1 is compatible with our stock fluid so they can be mixed. the computer @ advance auto was right because we have a screen, not a filter. they do sale a tranny pan gasket with the screen @ advance, they took 1 day to get mine in. i use mobil 1 since its easy to get @ pepboys

Yup, Mobil 1. I switched mine out twice. Once at 20K and again at 30K (drain from pan then refill with 4.5 qts).

Make sure you only refill 4 qts, drive, check level and then add. On my second change it only took about 4 qts (didn't let it drain long enough I guess) and I overfilled by about 1/2 a quart.
