Default I went through the same roundabout early this year...
I decided that Motul 300 would be the way I would go, but hours of searching the forums led me to the conclusion that...there IS no conclusion; everyone has a range of opinions for each fluid out there. For the record, there is no OEM trans fluid that the dealership carries...they use Mobil1 75W-90, IIRC.

I thought Mobil 1 was GL5, hence not suitable. Our cars need GL4.

That's very helpful. I was hoping for your experience with it?

Did you see much improvement in shifting?

Seems OK. I haven't noticed any ill effects. Seems the same as the factory fill.

Mobil1 is not suitable. It's definitely GL5.
