I would question your trans builder, if they're suggesting you use Mercon*

Most of the time the bottle will say that the ATF meets both Dextron/Mercon (whatever level) at the same time.

I was told that all of the trans fluid was the same(as long as I use the Dex. merc 3).............just use the cheaper stuff and change it more often.

CASTROL DOMESTIC MULTIVEHICLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

Meets DEXRONŽ–III H requirements. Also satisfies requirements of DEXRONŽ, DEXRONŽ–III, IIE, and II. Do not use this ATF in applications calling for DEXRONŽ–VI.

...get it at Walmart in the gallon size.

Royal purple is great. Sythetics always will outlast your motor. My dad's Mack trucks use synthetic gear oil in the transmission, and it guarantees 750,000 miles.
