Stick with Mercon SP. You won't need the additive package for the clutches any longer, but the shift solenoids and pressure regulator still need it to have a decent lifespan...

Yes, SP is from the factory. Stock capacity is 18 quarts, if the cooler and torque converter are empty. Add the added pan capacity rating to 18 quarts to calculate exactly how much you will need.
