I put regular ATF in mine, + a quart of hi-$ additive. It has hurt nothing in either 4l60e (vette, or GMC Jimmy).

I changed the fourth gear servo on mine, for a high performance part from Pete. It's high up on the passenger side. I didn't think much fluid would leak but it looks like at least two quarts did, probably more. Only a small trickle from the governor after that.

I'm using the NAPA brand atf thats made by ashland - which makes Valvoline.
Just have a deep pan for the atf that comes out with the servo and governor change. For the removal for my rebuild I just went to walmart and got a long and deep (but not too deep that its too tall for under the car) plastic storage container. It gives you a larger catch area, unlike a standard drip pan. You might not need one that big though for your mods.
Good luck,
Jonathan
