Dex III, that's basically what it was designed to run on. Some folks like to flush them through & run Dex VI which is a "better" fluid but designed for different friction technology.

Lots of miles? Fluid nice n red?
Careful swapping fluid on a real high mile car. It never seems to work out for me.

Redline D4 is what I use in the same tranny. I have an additional cooler plumbed in series after the internal radiator cooler. Add a couple of additional magnets to the pan while you're in there.
