Dexron II is pseced for the 92MY, but Dex III works. Definitely not ATF+3.

If you look it up in the owners manual, it calls for Dexron II. Many members use synthetic fluid like Redline, because it will not break down as fast with heat.

ATF+3 is for Chryslers (I think it slips more than normal), Type F is for Fords (slips less).
Has anyone (mistakenly) put Type F fluid in their SVX?

Actually Hurst Hot Shift ATF is Dexron II. Getting a flush and filling up on it tomorrow. Cost me $3.99 per bottle from the local parts store. Summit Racing lists it for $4.95.
EDIT: On the back of the bottle, the label reads "...and not for use with electronically controlled transmissions." So...nevermind
