I've always been a stickler for using the correct Type OEM ATF. You just can't go wrong. It removes the guesswork and all of the 'what-ifs'.

On the other hand, using a universal ATF leaves a level of uncertainty (which varies from one ATF brand to another) whether if it will hurt your A/T or not. I'm a betting man of sorts but I don't like to gamble with something as expensive-to-repair-or-replace as an A/T.

btt: i did dialysis on our rig 2 years ago and i had to buy 15 liters. this year i only drained and refilled the atf since i also included the replacement of the atf filter.
Same here. We've already had A/T issues before and they car just doesnt feel the same after so i really also subscribe to using the OEM fluid to reduce possible issues. You can always purchase them at a dealer or OEM auto supply then have your suking tindahan do the work.
