Just to jump in with my personal experience. When T4 first came out, working at an independent shop I thought using something close to it was okay. I was so wrong it caused transmission failure.
Every manufacturer is going with there own fluid there is no magical universal fluid to substitute what really goes in. When I go to my Bureau Of Automotive repair smog training we talk about the dirty little word called aftermarket. Some aftermarket parts maybe okay but when it comes to fluids, especially transmission fluid it is a safe bet to go with the OEM.
