Mine calls for ATF Type A. Automatic Transmission Fluid Type A is the older designation from the GM days - I used it with my older Chevys and Buicks. As opposed to Type F used in the Fords. If you go to the autoparts store and ask them for some ATF Type A then they will point you to either Mercon or Dextron which are the newer more popular versions of Type A and a suitable replacement.
Make sure you check with someone who sounds like they know what they are talking about. The first person I talked to didn't even look old enough to drive. Fortunately, she pointed me to the know-it-all who had the answer.
The reservoir should only be checked and refilled when the slides are IN. The reservoir should be topped off to within 1/2" of the top (confirm this with your manual). What I did is draw a small fill line with a permanent marker and keep it filled to that mark.
When I bought my rig the reservoir was low. I had to fill it up when I finally found out what it should be. Now that I monitor it, there doesn't seem to be a problem.
