I searched and saw some people suggesting atf and some synchromesh and I dunno what else. What's the good stuff to run? How much does it take? How do ya go about doin it all since the thing doesn't have a dipstick? Sorry for the newbish questions.

I used royal purple and love it. However I am going to try Gm synromesh cause 94 GT is usually right and heard good things.
