the fluid will have use ATF 4134 or ATF 134 as that spec.

The bulletin hasn't been released thru MBNA as of yet but they have 50K liters in stock under number 001-989-68-03-10, both Fuchs & Shell (DSH) have contracts to produce that fluid.
DOC, Do you know if this new fluid is even available yet in the US?
