a Dexron III approved ATF is the correct fluid to use.I use royal purple MAX ATF in mine.

I use Amsoil ATF. I use a turkey baster to remove old fluid. I do this every 15k miles or so.

Mine is clear on a 2006, I have also wondered what to put in since factory antifreeze is also different from what the manual says to use.
