Default transmission fluid?!?

ok so my engine's out and i drain my transmission fluid. it's out so i can install my lsd. (btw its a 92 civic ex/si tranny) but i go to napa to get transmission fluid and they say it just uses motor oil... 10w30 motor oil. so i just bought 2 quarts of royal purple 10w30. is napa right? havent worked w/ transmissions before
