Thank you for clarifying. My Canadian English got the best of me. I did imply that.
But yes D6 is the way to go. Also Motul now does state compatible with WS. Sorry for the confusion. |

I got 56,000 miles on my auto of spirited driving in cali mountains. Still no fluid change, trying to figure out what to put in and going to do rearend at same time. I'm close to trading it in so I might leave it. Car still shifts well and i paddle shift on mountain roads daily.

Not exactly. It wasnt shifting bad before and seems to shift the same. I know the WS doesnt like to be tracked thanks to this forum and just hope this holds up to autox well. I didnt do a uoa on the factory fill but plan to when I swap this one in another 20k miles (I did the first at 45k as I was just a DD and will be going 30-40k intervals from now on since I am pusbing the car harder).

I'd take it to a reliable shop and have them flush it and refill it with your choice of fluid. You'll get a lot more of the old fluid out that way. Driveway AT fluid changes are helpful but getting all the fluid from the valve body and torque converter really isn't possible that way.

@FirestormFRS Flush machines have been known to bend the fins in the torque converters so it really isn't the best option IMO.
@Estey I agree, it seems doable. Only thing that's a PITA is checking the temp of the fluid. |

Mine have 14k miles with FI so I think there is no warranty for my car.

I am not sure how we could. OBD scanners just give the coolant temp under the ATF temp heading.
