opps help please

So let me admit, I made a mistake. I should have done more research. I was about to change my oil on 2013 cross trek. Not a problem I thought I loosened the bolt for the oil but it was the ATF. lug and had drained the fluid. AHHH. not a problem only thing is what type of ATF fluid should I replace it with. Napa auto parts doesn't know and the dealer is closed on Sunday??? really Sunday. Does anyone know what ATF fluid to replace it with???
I don't want to wait til Monday and go to the dealer.
Thankshttps://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/noidea.gif

quick google search says:

Approved ATF Fluid:

Subaru ATF Type HP (Dealer had it for $7.50 per quart)
IDEMITSU ATF HP (Could not find this anywhere)
Royal Purple Max ATF (very expensive ~$13.50 per quart around me)

ATF Dextron 3/ Mercon at least.


Also, it tells you in the manual. Could have saved you a call or trip to Napa.
