Stock fluid from Ford. If you have the green fluid stock get the green fluid, if you have the yellow fluid get the yellow. I got 2 gallons and I think it cost $30. I was told not to mix them. Dont get the orange color fluid.

Yes, I believe the reasoning behind that is because of the harsh minerals found in tap water.
