Mitsu change bottle for ATF SP III? (ACD Fluid)

The dealer gave me this for the AYC/ACD fluid. This used to come in a white bottle, now black? Just checking if I got the correct fluid from the dealer.



Was this before:

It's ATF-III

Automatic
Transmission
Fluid
III

Any Universal ATF with that spec or better (ATF-IV, V, etc) will work fine. It's not like it actually lubricates anything. It's just used as a hydrolic fluid that's pumped into the ACD to make it lock up. Hell, it's possible that you could put normal hydrolic fluid in it and it would be fine.

It is not a fluid that requires regular service, don't even worry about it.

7.5 is correct, but it does not have a drain. See my comment above. The reservoir bottle is in the trunk and bleed nipples on the transfer case and rear differential.
