Default Auto Transmission Fluid

What type of auto transmission fluid does the Focus use (LS model)?
Looking at the service book it only states the capacity and not the product/type.



EDIT: Just noticed Ford got the spelling wrong for "Capacity"

Came across the Castrol Lube Guide where it states the auto trans oil is CASTROL TQ MV, whatever that is. It also says if unavailable, refer to Dealer so it must be a rare thing.

On the topic of auto trans, does the Focus has a stock cooler that's part of the radiator like most other auto trans cars have?
