What are you using for fluid in your 915?

I'll be changing out the transmission fluid in my 81 SC soon and would like opinions on which brand to use. All I know about my existing fluid is that it's blue ('cause it leaks on to the catch pan under my car) and that JW doesn't favor it. (mentioned during PPI)

Never mind. I'll use the "search" function. Wouldn't want to incite a riot or PO those that are bored to tears with mere newbie topics.

Here you go. You don't need to search. This is the thread with the great debate and you can draw your own conclusions based on the information presented.
