Which ATF to use for the ATF Trick?
Does it matter which ATF I use?

Type F, Mercon V, ATF +3, Synthetic

When I did it I used Dex III. I guess it worked. I really didn't notice a difference but it didn't kill my car!

P.S. I don't think the brand of ATF really matters. I would use the cheap ****.

I got the big Gallon of Advance Auto Parts ATF Dextron III $3.96 . Makes great powersteering fluid when your car leaked a gallon of it a week before I replaced the PS rack.
