According to my book:
Automatic Transmission, U341F AWD Initial Fill..........3.1 quarts
Automatic Transmission, U341F FWD Initial Fill..........2.2 quarts
Automatic Transmission, A246E Initial Fill..........3.2 quarts
Of
AMSOIL Universal ATF and not the torque drive ATF.
And it's AMSOIL! No Z. It used to have a Z in it many years ago but Pennzoil got mad and sued them.
AMSOIL's engine oils tend to be on the thicker side ("30" is a range of viscosities) and that's why they usually don't increase mileage much. Sure, less drag because the majority of molecules are of just a few sizes.
Synthetic ATF also does a great job during the winter because of it's viscosity curve. Most ATFs are 5w20 weight oils, but synthetic is 0w20 so it's more fluid in the cold.
