What fluid do I use in the car listed above it is front wheel drive? I have been told to use the same ATF I put in the transmission.

Isn't this a front wheel drive and has a trans-axle? The transmission and differential is a trans-axle and it takes DEXRON II ATF.

Depending on which transmission you have and if it is the one with a separate differential, the recommended is SAE 90, but many I have seen uses ATF.
