ATF SPIII fluid

I tried looking through the manual to see what fluid I should put into the reservoir that reads ATF SP III Sp. Diff Fluid. I'm thinking it's the ACD reservoir but not sure. Can someone help with that? Thanks

Definitely the ACD reservoir. Ive been putting Dexron 3 ATF in mine. Just make sure you check the level when the car is cool. Right after a drive, it will appear low but return to normal after a little while.

So would that be the Diaqueen fluid? I try to dip some out and smell it. They don't smell the same

No...the Diaqueen is used for the transfer case and rear diff.
