What ever the manual tells you. Or any parts store should be able to look that up.

If you’re worried about a transmission emergency then why not carry a couple of jugs all the time? Stick them behind the seats along with a jug of engine coolant and maybe a quart of motor oil.

If this is an automatic transmission, use only licensed ATF+4. Do not use any of the so-called “universal” transmission fluids–they will ruin your transmission. Wal-Mart sells their SuperTech brand for about $5 per bottle, which is a very good deal.
