Use the ATF, that's what Ford recommends. I think the other stuff is equivalent to gear lube, which is way too thick.

But for does recommend ATF in the T-5, i got that strait out of a valvoline lube guide.
I"m sure the other stuff does work....But ATF is what they say to use.

You check and add from the same spot. You can use a 3/8 extension on the passenger side to remove the plug where you fill from. Bend a cotter pin at a 90 degree angle about a half inch down and stick it in the hole. If it comes back wet, your all set. To fill I use a squeeze bottle with ATF in it a short length of hose attached to the bottle.
The fill plug is further up on the tranny towards the top, don't remove the torx bit one, as this will screw up the trans.
