What fluid do you guys recommend for AT? I'm at 69k and the owner's manual calls for the ATF to be changed at 60k so I'm a bit behind on schedule.

I'll be taking the car to a shop because changing the ATF is apparently a big PITA. I'll be getting it changed and not flushed (is there a difference?) and I'm afraid and don't know where to take it to get serviced because it seems like a big job and I don't want anyone to mess up.. would a dealership be a safe place to take this? I heard that you have to shift gears multiple times to drain the fluids completely.
