Default Auto trans oil

Hey guys could someone recommend a good oil to use to service the trans? It was done 15,000km ago but i found out the oil they used isn't the right one for the trans and thins out way to much once warm.

And you dont find the auto clunking at all, or dropping into 1st harshly when coming to a stop?

I've used Shell dexron III on all my coons, as it always falls off the back of the truck at work. No drivablity issues on any of them, my first one is still going strong on the original box at 470,000 odd km.
