Default AU Auto transmition fluid

I often hear people say not to use DEX-III auto trans fluid in the Falcon 4 speed auto.

But I have some Texamatic 1888 spare incase I needed it for me old car which says "Dex-III H spec" on it, but below this it says "Ford Mecron M[numbers here]"

Does this mean that it can be used on my AU's 4speed auto or do I need to get one of those other ones that people always talk about?

BTR95L or is it BTR95LE in any event that is the ONLY fluid you should put in your 4 speed auto. Was developed just for the BTR 4 speed auto.

Alright, well I'll save the stuff I've got for power steering fluid changes then, thanks.

I'll try to get ahold of one of those 4 oils listed and use that. I've got a feeling that I'll need to pop into my local Ford dealer to get that BTR stuff, and they could charge the earth, I'll try find the castrol or Valvoline.
