DEXRON and you fill it on level ground until it's level with the bottom of the fill/check plug.

The 205 is big and iron, the 208 is all aluminum and uses a large, plastic shifter inside the truck that is usually lighted. The 205 will have a simple rubber boot and an iron ring holding it down. The 203 is by fat the largest, sporting two large case sections with an aluminum housing extending from the back.
