Default AOD Tranny Fluid

I've looked through the search and all but did not find an answer or relevant question.
What Transmission fluid do you guys recommend for a AOD transmission?
It has a shift kit and a 2400 stall converter.
Thanks

Dexron II ATF is the mfg recommended type. I use it and have had no problems.

if you use a synthetic which you should, use royal purple or amsoil as best choice, or mobil 1 after that

they just say "synthetic atf"

dextron III/mercon will be fine.....actually since that patten doesn't exist anymore the bottles now say just "ATF" and in a little box it is written...for vehicles that require dextron III / mercon
