Do I need to stay with the stock fluid, or are aftermarket options ok?

I can't source the stock Nissan fluid easily in my country, but I do have these options:

Nulon ATF Multi Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid

Penrite ATF LV Automatic Transmission Fluid

Penrite ATF FS MultiVehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid

The alternative is I take it to my local mechanic who charges about $200 USD to do a full transmission flush or closer to $400 USD for a transmission flush AND filter replacement. Dear Americans - keep in mind the rest of the world ain't cheap lol.

What do you recommend?

Easy to do yourself, there’s a few DIY’s on here & you can do a total flush under $100 including a chemical sprayer to fill from bottom
