Both DTT and Suncoast recommend Dex plus Lubegard.
I've been running it in my Suncoast for about 40k without problem.

I have used atf 3 in my DTT until I couldent find it any more and last time I changed the fluid and filter I used atf 4. Only difference I see between the two is the atf 4 doesnt shift quite as crisp...
