Default ST170 Gearbox Oil Help!?? (Solved)

Gents,

Sorry to drag this debate up but I can't find a decent answer.
I know the getrag isnt the smoothest box but mine is long overdue some new oil but which is best for my 2003 ST170?

75w90 ATF?? The expensive Purple stuff worth it or stick to Mobil1 or similar?

I used the same oil in my standard 1.6 focus. As long as it's 75w-90 gl4 it's within the spec.

Some more info in this data sheet:
