it really dosent matter, what type as long as it's tranny fluid. youwill need about 2 1/2 qts. for a manual, and 5 1/2 for a auto trans.

Mobil 1 automatich synthetic has had good results for manual cars. otherwise any auto tranny fluid will do.

Dexron. Check the owners manual for the minimum spec. Normally newer spec fluids are backwards compatible. So if all you can find is Dex 6 then use it.
