DelSol Automatic Transmission Fluid. What Type?

Hi, I would like to know what Transmission fluid to i need to buy for my 1992 Honda Delsol Automatic Transmission.
I have seen a lot of oil types being mentioned online such as ATF-DW1, however on a delsol manual it mentions to use DEXRON 2. On the market there is also DEXRON 3. what is the difference please?

Thanks a lot.

In fact i have seen a lot of online post saying to use ATF-DW1, however i came across a honda delsol manual which says to use Dexron II.

Is there any difference?

Thanks

I don't think there is a DW-2. There was an ATF-Z1 and that was replaced with ATF-DW1.

Del Sol manual probably calls for Z1 as that is what existed at the time.

Hi, i mixed up the names, in fact the manual mentions to use DEXRON II. In the market there is also DEXRON III. Are they any good?
