Any full synthetic gear oil is good.  I use Redline in my AX-15 but Royal Purple is also popular.  When I switched to Redline, it made a huge difference in the tranny.  Smoother shifts, quieter and in my opinion very well worth it

do them your self its cheaper and its the same quality of work if not better ..

unless you warried about warrenty then mr lube or something
dealerships just (parden my words) bend you over and give it to you hard

you can stop in at any jeep dealership and get the info, they can tell you the exact fluid you'll need. and then you can decide if you'd like their product of go aftermarket.
