Dexron backwards compatibility?

[xgmad]

I have a 09G automatic in my 2.5, i changed to atf just yesterday,

I used german specified TW-S from blauparts,

Can I use Dexron VI next time?

Its an Aisin transmission thats tiptronic.

I've been pretty impressed with Dex VI in my Aisin trans that called for Dex III.

And just to be clear, there is no formal "backwards compatibility" for the use of DEXRON-VI instead of T-WS licensed fluid, right? The two are not connected. DEXRON-VI is backwards compatible for DEXRON-III applications (except for the weird manual transmission thing) but these are within the same licensing entity whereas T-WS is not.

Dexron VI and Toyota-WS are quite similar as they're both newer generation low viscosity ATF's. Toyota ATF's have traditionally been very similar to the corresponding Dexron ATF to the point that the earlier T-IV (and earlier) where based on Dexron formula's. While Dexron VI is technically not recommended for T-WS applications, Aisin automatics are not picky and folks on here have used Dexron VI in place of T-WS with no issues.
