* 1. Refer to More Details.
* 2. Use only specified genuine automatic transmission fluid. The use of non-specified (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure. (Refer to More Details)
* 3. If the genuine oil that is developed for best performance is not used, it may cause the problems of transmission performance.
* 4. Different type of coolant or water may damage the electrical component.
