Check your owners manual, it should list the type of trans fluid your ride needs. I would stick with one of the name brands of oil. It's not, IMHO, worth the few cents you save to go with Brand 'X'.

WalMart and Kmart carry brand name xmsn fluids. Why do you think you need some? I'd be sure before I'd go adding fluid. Like TechWrench said, check your owners manual for the fluid type but also on how to check the fluid level.
