No need to buy it from them, they list all the oil companies that make it. Use any one you like. Or use a generic fluid, at your own risk. That LM fluid appears to be a Dexron III, as that is the first spec they say they meet. They go on to recommend it for a long list of vehicles calling for fluids that are known to be non compatible with Dexron III.
I've lived in Europe for the first half of my life and Liqui Moly is the simply the best and most honest company that I ever had to deal with. In this world full of lies I simply choose to believe when they claim that this fluid is fully compatible with my AT. I know for the fact that they don't just slap recommendation without testing it first. If I have any problems later, it'll be on me.
