More precise details:
The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug.
The ATF level is correct if a small amount of fluid comes out at the ATF inspection plug when ATF temperature is between 30°C and 45°C, or 50°C in hot climates (the fluid level rises due to expansion as it warms up).
– Drive vehicle onto a four-column lifting platform or over an inspection pit in order for it to be absolutely horizontal.
Fluid level I would guess first, fluid type second, filter third. My .02

I used Mobil 1 Mercon V as I read on here that it was the ATF to use but it seems as though not everyone agrees.
It would be good to have a definite answer on which ATF to use.
That's an easy one:
ZF Lifeguardfluid5 (ZF No. S671 090 170):
Audi / VW Oil No. G 052162 A1 / A2 / A6
BMW Oil No. 8322 9407807
Citroen Oil No. Z 000169756
Jaguar Oil No. JLM 20238
Mercedes Benz Oil No. A 0019892203
Peugeot Oil No. Z 000169756
Porsche Oil No. 999.917.547.00
/EDIT: It's all the same stuff. Just the price that varies depending on where you buy it.

But what about Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Multi Vehicle Formula ( Allison C4, Mercon V, Dexron IIIH)That's an easy one:
ZF Lifeguardfluid5 (ZF No. S671 090 170):
Audi / VW Oil No. G 052162 A1 / A2 / A6
BMW Oil No. 8322 9407807

Jaguar Oil No. JLM 20238
Mercedes Benz Oil No. A 0019892203

Porsche Oil No. 999.917.547.00

This is what we used and I'm trying to determine if it is suitable.
No, the ZF stuff isn't synthetic.
Doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, of course, but you've added an unknown by using a non-standard fluid.
Mobil 1 is fine. Your pan has a slight dent-in and the filter is too close to the pan. You need to cut 10mm off of the filter's pickup tube and it will be fine.
