Default Question about fluid for my 5 spd trans ('00 GT)

After putting Pennzoil Syncromesh transmission fluid into my Ford Probe's transmission and feeling a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference in how smoothly it shifted, I was wondering if it would help my '00 GT's tranny. Do we use transmissions that use "yellow metals" for the syncro sets? This Syncromesh fluid is a GOD SEND and I'd really like to put it in the trans if it'll be alright for it.

Also, how many quarts does it take?

Thanks man... I stopped by autozone on my way home from work and the computer said 3.27 quarts. But it specifically said to use synthetic Dexron III ATF fluid. HMmmmmm..... I didn't buy the stuff I wanted, I want to make sure it'll be ok in the trans.
