It came with MS5931 fluid. Not to sure what that crosses to. You can pick yourself up an owners manual off eBay.

Ok basically what i wanted to know was if i could upgrade to atf+4 instead of the MS5931 fluid
but that is not the case

I found out that i have to keep using the same fluid or equivalent like valvoline

Yeah. I think they switched to ATF+4 in 2000. I'd stick with the OEM.

If you get all of the old fluid out you can replace it with ATF+4, but you shouldn't mix the two. I needed some power steering fluid a while ago, and it turned out the Autozone branded fluid is listed as MS5931 compatible.
