I know for engine oil they recommend "Marine Grade". For the transmission oil, is there a special oil I should use? Some special Marine grade? What transmission oil do most of you use?

The other option is to use Dexron VI which is backwards compatible with Dexron III but it costs twice as much as the MD-3.
If anyone believes I should not be using MD-3, please tell me now!
