Only use what is recommended on the dipstick or the owners manual. I just looked it up. It calls for ATF+4 9602. Don't use anything other than that.

It is a quality product, but make sure it meets or exceedes the ATF+4. If I recall, it is a synthetic oil. Check the bottle it comes in. Usually, they will list what it replaces.

Let me know if you have other questions.
