This should help. You can order the ATF at my site if you like. Have it drop shipped to your door.

Cost is 5.90/qt with Preferred Customer discount. Fluid Analysis is about 15.00 (for future checks, have it tested at the drain interval, these fluids are able to extend the drain period much longer than conventional fluids)
