I would guess (and that's all it is) that the first fill of oil should be
dino based, like using break-in oil in a new engine. At the first change
and there after, I'd use M1 - but that's just me.

That's curious, did they give any reason? I wonder if M1 ATF will extend
transmission life, or just cost more money.
M1 ATF did wonders for my '87 wagon, I suspect because it was cleaning up
deposits in the valve body. Perhaps that is the best use for it, then
switch back to "regular" ATF once the benefit has been realized.
What other brands of ATF are recommended? I think Jaime recommended the
Febi flavor that met MB specifications.
