Not to bash anyone, but I wouldn't use a basic ATF oil, that's used in Ford, GM, Honda...etc. I would use something that's strictly for GM. So my choices are either the Dexron III, or the Redline (synthetic) for GM (Dexron III compatible).

Any of the synthetic ATF's from Red Line, Amsoil, Royal Purple or even the Mobil 1 synthetic would be much preferrable to any dino lube from anyone else.
