Dextron II is what is called for in the owners manual. But you might notice stores usualy don't stockI or II, maybe even IIwhat ever number its up to now.
You should have the right stuff.

Maybe it's like how the 1984 Vette superseded the 1982?
Poor Dexron II, nobody loves you!
Oh, and I like using the ATF +4 synthetic.
