Been meaning to swap out some fluid for my Suzuki as preventive maintenance. Manual calls for Dex 3, can I just use some bottles of Aisin T-IV fluid that I have not used? DOn't mind buying the right kind but if it's compatible, I'd rather not waste new OEM fluid.
 
being a hydraulic system I would think it is fine. viscosity mattering more than additives, but who knows really?
 
Is it easy to change the seals in the rack or pump?

People with Aisin transmissions go out of their way to get this fluid whether it's from Mobil, Toyota, Volvo or motorcraft, so it would seem that there is something different about this fluid.

Maybe it would be fine or even better than dex3, and I agree with you about not wanting to waste it but dex3 is like $3 a quart.
 
Stick with MaxLife Dex3 fluid (that is the best Dex3 fluid and have it on both my Toyota vehicles) - get it in Walmart.
