It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

T5s are sticks...AODs are automatics
Dex/merc III is what it takes but you can use anything up to Dex/Merc V

using auto fluid dex/merc III in your T5 stick shift is not a problem, thats what borgwarner (T5's original manufacturer)specifies to use in those manuel transmissions.
the reason to use auto fluid in a World Class T5 (thats what you have)is because they started using a thin caged needle bearing between the gears 1st-3rd to reduce friction. and to lubericate these bearings they switched from gear fluid which was too thick to flow inbetween the small bearings, to a thinner automatic trans fluid dex/mercon.
