Default What automatic trans fluid

Not knowing what fluid is in my automatic trans, what fluid should I buy for topping off after adding a cooler?

No idea when it was last changed, just got it. It is a 4.0 engine, all I know about the trans is it is an auto.

Dex/Merc III compatible is best for the AW4. Widely available.

True licensed Dex/Merc III is no longer mfg. but "compatible" is.
