There are two basic types of ATF:
1) DEX / Mercon = Ford and GM
2) ATF+4 (?) = Chrysler specific ATF
(I forgot the name for DCX atf, I can't believe it)
Anyway, You can run the basic stuff or something from one of the namebrands, in the formulation specific to your automotive manufacture. Both will do the same thing and both will need to be changed every 5,000-15,000 miles depending on how hard you drive your Mustang.
