What fluid for Hydraulic?

To save me a trip to the unit in our frigid weather, can someone tell me the fluid to buy for topping it off when needed. I want to have it on hand.

The Lippert Hydraulic Slideout and HLG System uses automatic transmission
fluid (ATF). Any ATF can be used. A full synthetic or synthetic blend works best
such as Dexron II, Dexron III or Mercon 5. For best operation, fill system within
1” of the top when all slideouts and landing gear are completely retracted. Right from the manual.

Karl,
Waldo238 is exactly correct about the type of fluid. Here is a link to the Lippert website and slide out manual. Page 7 talks about filling the reservoir and what to use. http://www.lci1.com/Service%20Owners...ideout-Web.pdf
