ATF is recommended for the 98-00 cars. Thats what I run in my car and have had no problems.

ATF is Automatic Transmission Fluid. The question I believe was what type of automatic transmission fluid to use. There are several different types.
It's supposed to take Dexron3, if you can't find that then either mail order it or take your chances.

old and good- If you can spend the time to take a long slow read through this thread, I think it pretty much covers most/all options out there today: Which T56 fluid?

I'd think most of these could be obtained via the Internet if it came down to that for you...

...the one I'd pick would definitely be obtained via the Internet...
