I've been using dextron/mercon III in mine and have had no problem (fingers crossed) in about 500 miles. I don't think you can even find plain dextron any more.

mercon fluid is designed for ford type transmissions but can be used in all. it is a higher grade of fluid. dextron 3 and 4 are good for all others but should not be used in ford. it's also best to not mix ( dextron and mercon ) to much either.
