I really liked Mobil 1 ATF. I felt a big difference.

And yes you have a T-45

I've used Royal Purple with good results but switched to Red Line trans fluid this past summer.

Amsoil universal ATF in my T-45 00 GT. I changed it and the car shifted like butter. Night and day difference from my old 50k mile factory fluid.
