Dextron III is the correct spec for your 4 speed trannie.

Yes, true....but you can use Mobil-1 Synthetic ATF without issue (many of us are using it)...may actually be a better alternative because it is synthetic and will probably last longer before breaking down.

Have had no leaks with the synthetic. Not sure about a drain and fill with synthetic when regular ATF is in there....but don't think it will hurt.
