The reason I am asking is they don't have the specific Toyota fluid here and I heard thats the only fluid that works.

I can't seem to remember the name of it right now, but there is a product that you can add to ATF and it will make it TIV ATF. We used it in our tranny shop for years, but I can't seem to think of the name. We bought our ATF in bulk and used this additive and never had a problem. It is in my Vibe and my Camry.

...the 2003-2008 ATF is same, but for 2009-2010 a new fluid is called for:TIP: The Vibe has three different automatic transaxle RPOs, and this information applies to all three -- MVA, MVB, and MVD.On a 2009-10 Vibe, if diagnostics leads to transaxle replacement, follow this recommendation. When replacing the transaxle assembly, the torque converter is not included with the transaxle. Be sure to order and replace the torque converter also.Beginning with the 2009 model year, these transmissions use Automatic Transmission Fluid (meets WS ATF standard) GM p/n U.S. 88863400, in Canada 88863401.TIP: This is not DEXRON VI. It is different from the fluid used in Vibe automatics through 2008.
