Get the fluid from the dealership, couple bottles is all you need. I think its like $12.00. You can use friction reducer too if you want to, they sell that also. Like a few ounces.

Get redline 75W - 90 synthetic, it has the friction additive in it, you can still add the 5 oz bottle from the dealership as well if you wish.
