I just use the generic TYPE F tranny fluid from your local walmart. There are some more expensive ones if you go to an auto store but I dont think there is a whole lot of difference between them

I use Castrol type F. It ranges from your cheapo brand to royal purple or amsol. Just depends on what you want.

Just be sure it's type F = Ford.

It's referred to as fluid instead of oil. Yeah Type F is what you need. This is right out of the horse's mouth.
"[*]Type F (FLM) is a specially compounded fluid meeting the latest Ford ESW-M2C33F and is compatible with all M2C33 series Ford specifications. In all 1983 and later model Ford automatic transmissions use DEXRON ® III/MERCON ® or MERCON ® V Automatic Transmission Fluids.
