if your engine/trans are pretty much stock i would stick with the above...

Mercon tranny fluid. Most companies replaced Dextron with Mercon, as Mercon will work in anything that was originally designed for Dextron.

Personally I use 15w40 diesel oil.

Most oils are synthetic blend nowadays....but I don't personally buy into the whole synthetic thing.
