Years ago the best solution was to use F type fluid but the key was to never mix with regular ATF
For the cost of rebuilding a trans I would use the best fluid possible , saving a few $$ & having to pull the trans & rebuild again makes no sense to me .
Things have changed & I do not know what the best fluid to use now is , Terry can help you with this , F type seems to have disappeared since all the synthetics have come into play . the other issue is you change engine oil every 300 miles or so but never think about the trans running 50,000 miles on it .
I agree that most generic oils are made by major oil companies but not nessisarily with the same additives
