Aisin Warner AW-1 fluid replacements

[atikovi]

The Aisin Warner in my Fiat calls for AW-1 fluid which is $15-$20 at a dealer. Even Aisin doesn't seem to use that name for any fluid and I see their recently introduced ATF-0WS https://aisinaftermarket.com/uploads/evq1y5in_ATF-0WS_Product_Annoucement_copy.pdf might be a direct replacement. I can find that around $7. Would it work the same?

Aisin will work fine, and so will Maxlife

It looks like Aisin doesn’t use the designation because it may be a GM specification?

Having said that I’d use Maxlife since it is on their list of recommended applications.
