also covers most initial OEM fills.

C. Mercon® V ATF
D. Dexron® VI ATF
E. PetroBlend (Mason City, IA) PHO 0022S (synthetic group 3 base blend)
F. Bellman all temp 22 (Bremen, IN)
G. Or any ATF or hydraulic fluid with a pour point lower than -42 °C (-44 °F).

-46 °C (-51 °F).
Extreme Cold - Operation at air temperatures routinely below -18 °C (0 °F)—extreme cold.

If you have one of the fluids already specified for cold use there may be moisture built up in the fluid that needs to be replaced and the old fluid flushed from the system.
