I think the usual recommendation of Dexron III/Mercon (not later for either) would apply. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/traveller-atf-dexron-iii-mercon-transmission-fluid-2-gal Fleetwood is still around, I suggest you give them a call to verify.

I'd want dex III /merc vs the newer thinner dex VI Though I'd imagine its not that picky and pretty much any of them would work ok.
