Identify Trans Fluid?

Hello- I've got an older "94 model calling for Automatic Transmisson Fluid T II?
I have reviewed some of the tech posts and debates on the Mercon V synthetics and synthetic blends- and the "dino" fluids. Exactly what present day trans fluid is T II compatible/eqivalent? There seem to be several Mercons - it is all very confusing- and I have read enough posts to scare myself into- doing it EXACTLTY right. This is my original trans and I hope to keep it it in the family for a good while longer. 170k miles and two previous flushes done by mom and pop shops- I want to tackle this one on my own.
Any assistance/advise would be great.

I'd used what the owner's manual recommends, if you have one. It sounds like Dexron II or plain Mercon. It might be written on the dip stick handle or the stick itself.........but I'm no expert.
