Default Time to replace my ATF

so my tranny fluid is really really dirty.... i took my car in for the 35k mile service and i though they changed it but i guess not... so i wanna get some new fluid in there.... i want some royal purple synthetic fluid.....

i was thinking this is teh stuff

Max ATF® is a synthetic, multi-purpose, long life, automatic transmission fluid that is recommended for all automatic transmissions requiring Ford MERCON® or GM DEXRON® III transmission fluids. It has superb oxidation stability and greatly resists breakdown from heat and loss of proper lubricity.

is this what i need or do i need something else.... i have a 2000 tib

oh and how much do i need?

go back and *****, and get them to change it with the right fluid. Automatic fluid is kinda tricky, you cant just fill it up with anything.

Hyundai does not make SP-II anymore, its replaced with SP-III. Its suppose to be full synthetic ATF.
