Synthetic Mobil 1 Tranny Fluid Q?

My question is im aware that our 4th Gen Automatic Transmissions require GL-4, Mobil 1 offers two type of synthetic ATF Fluids.
Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF
and
Mobil Multi-Vehicle ATF.

Which one would we use in our Auto Tranny for the 4th gen maxima. I have read the labels and theres nothing about gl-4.

GL-4 is not ATF. it is for the 5sp manual.

if you have an auto you need DexIII or a multi-vehicle ATF. either mobil 1 ATF will work great - I believe their current version is multi-vehicle, whereas the previous version was just DexIII. Amsoil is also a good choice. or you can use any cheap conventional DexIII you want and do drain/fills every 15k.

GL-4 is also required in the 6-speed MT, too. Don't make a mistake by using another grade of manual trannie oil in these Max trannies.
