Yes, that fluid violates the spec. It simply doesn't meet it. It doesn't even claim to meet it. Use it if you like, but why would you? You changed to an unapproved fluid, and are having transmission issues. You decide to change the fluid again, and now you are saying you want to use another unapproved fluid? Why would you do that?

There is a reason why fluid makers come out with universal fluids. It is cheaper for them. Less types to make and to keep in stock means more profit. Can't blame them for trying, and in a non-critical application any old fluid will do. But why keep hunting these types of products out?

Just wondering, did you read my posts above on universal fluids that don't get tested to the Dexron spec, but just claim that they are good enough to use anyway?
