Based on my experience having a shop rebuild my tranny, I would not ask for their opinion. The warranty is the least of your problems if it starts to damage itself. Tell them firmly that it should be Dex/Merc as stated previously, unless they have replaced the bronze plates etc. Shops don't rebuild fordomatics these days so unless they're truly a specialty shop, theyre out of their element. They also wont bother to open the manual. Rather they'll treat it like "other automatics" (bad move) and be inclined to use Type F cuz F = Ford or 1940s style hydraulic oil.
