Hope this helps

The genuine stuff  BNR34 special but it is rebadged  ESSO ATF  D 21065.  Which is Dexron IID

This is made by Mobil (Mobil ATF D 21065)  and specified by Getrag for R34GTR gearbox and Toyota V160/1

You can use any off the following, which are all Dexron IID mineral based oil.

BP Autrans DII

Gulf ATF DXII

Texamatic ATF 4921  (Caltex)

Motul ATF Dexron IID  

Fuchs  Titan ATF 3000

Mobil 220  Dexron IID   

PetronasTutella GI/A  Dexron IID  (Italian) 

Most of this stuff is much cheaper than re-badged OEM oil, but you should buy it in small bottles as the stuff is hygroscopic.
