Tranny fluid?

I just recieved my [font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]valve [/font][font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]body[/font][/font] from bts today. I tho9ught it would be a good time to change the tranny fluid since it's probally not been done, at 63000 miles. All the local auto stores only carry thier own brand of cheap atf. I read in the article section i will need about 20 quarts. Where can i find some good stuff locally, i was thinking synthetic. Or do i have to order it online somewhere. What brand and type of atf should i get. Thanks for your help

You can use whatever brand you want. Motorcraft, Royal Purple, and Castrol come to mind...but if you want the less expensive...go RP or Castrol. Motorcraft is EXPENSIVE!!!

As long as you use the proper tranny oil...you will be good to go.

Sure...all I meant was use DEXRON III/MERCON tranny fluid for your 4R100 auto tranny.
