Welcome to the AF!

You can look up the recommended fluid type for any vehicle and any component by filling in your vehicle information on the following web site:

The automatic transmission would use standard Dexron III ATF.

With regard to the noise you're hearing, replace the transmission fluid (if the fluid is not an ugly dark brown and smells really bad) and see if the noise goes away.
