ACD Fluid??

Ok guys, I searched through 5 full pages and came up with nothing. Today on my way home from school all 3 of my ACD lights came on, so I already knew exactly what it was, and I knew my fluid was around the minimum mark when I went out to the Buschur shootout. So I got home popped the hood and sure enough it's about a 1/2 inch below the minimum mark (yes I know bad me... bad me..) So I closed the hood and got ready for work, started the car up.. Only Tarmac was lit up, drove 15 mins. to work no problems.
Now after searching on this I came up empty handed.. My simple question is..
Is the ATF SPIII fluid that is needed only supplied by a dealer, or can I get it from basically anywhere? Because I have an autozone about 5 mins. from my work which is much closer than the half hour, to 45 mins. to the closest Mitsu. dealership, plus their parts dept. is already closed, and I have to be at school at 6am tomorrow morning (10 mins from AMS) which is 25 miles away from where I live and the Mitsu. parts dept. won't be open by then either.. So if you guys could answer this question it would help a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Nate

W/O flushing it, I would try to put the exact same fluid back that it's currently using. OEM fluid.

Go to the ****su Stealership, skip your first class or show up late, I would.

Well this isn't a college course, it's at UTI which is one 6 hour class 5 days a week.. The only problem is I can't miss anymore time or else I won't graduate..

Just show up late. Or run the the Mitsu Stealer at lunch. Why are you looking for a "sure just get any ol' ATF fluid and put it in there" answer?

No, actually I was looking to see if any of you guys knew if any other stores besides the dealership provided our ATF SP III.. But to up-date, after school I found a Mitsu. dealership, got the right fluid and all is good..
