1997 Nissan Pathfinder ATF

Topic starter
On the automatic transmission on my Pathfinder, should I use a high mileage fluid or synthetic fluid? Or should I stick to Nissan's Matic D fluid which is what I usually use?

The vehicle has 185,000 miles and the transmission has been rebuilt once due to failed planetary gear about 6 years and 65k miles ago.

I've been told by a few about Castrol Transmax High Mileage Transmission fluid that is Nissan Matic D compatible.

I have also heard about Valvoline Maxlife Fully synthetic ATF.

 
I have also heard that high mileage transmission fluid on a transmission with no problems is not good to use. I am a bit stuck here. 
Is the Castrol high mileage not fully synthetic?

Any recommendations? I’m doing a drain and refill.
