I think you buddy is wrong. Your Owners Manual or the Factory Service Manual should guide you as to what you can safely use.

I use Wolfhead Super universal Fluid In mine..320K later and Ive never had a Single issue. Ive used this in several thousand vehichles actually over the years. Nothing beats the OEM fluid however. Order it online or visit your local store for its equivalent.

Here’s what your Owners Manual and the FSM say ...

Pay close attention to foot-note 2.
