All auto parts and Wallmart carry 90/140 transmision oil. This will work fine in a standard trans.
Fill to the bottom of the fill plug on the side.

If I remember right the 32 and 34 owers manual calls for 190w oil, 90/140 will work but shifting will be harder then it should be. You should really be using 600w which is really 190w from what I understand. Some time in 31 or 32 they changed how they called out oil weight.
