Basic question I know, but I can't recall what ATF is recommended for the autobox.

The manual says Dextron II, and I have a quart of both Dextron III and IV in my garage.

I'm pretty sure it is III (and the IV is for another vehicle)

Dextron III, I like the Trans X brand.

Anything that says Dexron on it will work. D I, II, III, etc. Dexron, Mercon is also OK. Just as long as it says ATF (auto tranny fluid). Don't forget the final drive on the automatic has a separate chamber and takes 85W-90 hypoid gear oil.

Thanks guys.

(On reflection, the Dextron-IV was for my steering pump on my old van.)

I have a quart of the gear oil also David, but I knew where that went :)
