Default Transmission Fluid Compatability

I have an '08 F350, 6.4 P-Stroke, automatic, 4X. My owners manual specifically says only to use Mercon SP fluid in it. I'd imagine since the manual was written that someone has updated their formula and/or Ford has approved an alternative.
I've beat up the web; Valvoline's website says their High Mileage fully synthetic ATF is compatible but the label doesn't indicate SP as a compatible.

I don't mind getting SP from my local dealer because the price is reasonable, but the dealer is the only place I've been able to find SP on the shelf.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Gunman. There is an O'Rielly in town.
I hate when answers are right in front of me and I can't see them.
