southark is right below. as for power steering fluid, brake/clutch fluid, totally go aftermarket. i use redline D6 ATF for power steering fluid, motul rbf600 for brake and clutch fluid, redline 75w90 for differential fluid, redline mt-85 for transmisson fluid, and pennzoil ultra platinum 10w-30/5w-30 for engine oil

southark is on point. theres too many different formulations because of the different metals and materials all the OEM's use, their own formulations will 100% prevent problems such as rusting, clogging... etc etc
