Both pictured are for Chevy transmissions aren't they? I thought you needed mercron 4 not dextron. I'd suggest motorcraft above all but I've ran the castroil for years with no issues. Just steer clear of ATF. Ill consult the manual to confirm.

Lost a 4r70w that way once cause of a shitty mechanic putting the wrong fluid in it. Just be sure, that's all I'm saying... Expensive mistake if incorrect. Just looking out for ya man.
