Mercon V ATF, personally I would go with Syntethic Mercon V. If you are going to change the fluid yourself sure it is MERCON V and not the regular "Mercon". They are not interchangeable!
 






You didn't mention if it is "auto or manual tranny" The above message is for "automatic tranmission only".

The 5 speed manual take regular Mercon ATF and it take 2.6qt, again I would go with Syntethic Mercon ATF (do not use Mercon V).
 






Royal purple, max gear if manual, RP atf if auto
 












Whatever it says on the dipstick if its an auto......dont want to use the wrong ONE.
