Your eyes will jump out when you see what the price is for that factory recommended fluid.
I did extensive research on this board and found quite a few people who recommend using off-the-shelve PS fluid and found no problem even after a year or more.
Lots of mechanics still use ATF in a pinch to top up.
In July, in the middle of nowhere (Nova Scotia), I discovered I was a few Oz low and I used a national brand synthetic fluid. After ~10K miles, it still works. I still have to top up a table-spoon or so every couple of months (don't know where it goes, as I don't see any leaks anywhere...).
